Sleep Disorder or Malfunction?

[HEDDWEN]

Hello everyone,

Firstly I  should say I do understand my fitbit is not a medical device. 🙂 I have spoken with my doctor and I have been referred to a sleep specialist.  My appointment is in 2 and a half more months, heh. If I don't fall asleep at the wheel first. 😕

Most of my sleep data seems very....strange. I will include some recent screen shots. My doc wonders if I have sleep apnea, but the spO2 log has never shown any high variations. In the last week or so, my allergies have been horrible, and I've gotten one speck of high variation at night. I also have never experienced the other symptoms of sleep apnea (gasping) except for being tired all the time.

I will also be evaluated for narcolepsy because I have hallucinations and fragmented sleep and nightmares, and some days I could happily sleep all day. But not everyday day is like that! So my symptoms seem ambiguous. Maybe there's nothing wrong with me at all except for anxiety. 

So I'm wondering...looking at these sleep charts...do you think my fitbit is functioning correctly???? Should I discount this information or show it to my specialist?

Without having read your description, I wouldn't see any concern with your sleep logs. I do note a couple of nights when you got low scores, that is actually because the log was broken in two, giving you two shorter logs as if you had a longer wake period during the night, not necessarily a problem or possible a misreading.  In either case, if considered together, it would have given you a decent score.

I'm not sure how much I trust the score. One night I got an "excellent " score, still woke up feeling like trash and took a midday nap.

I'm more concerned about my crazy sleep cycles.

The 'craziness' of them wasn't obvious to me, but maybe to another; also kinda hard to see detail at that scale picture.
