My sleep data doesn't start tracking until 1 1/2-2 hours after I start trying to go to sleep and think I have been asleep.

your sleep tracking starts when your tracker detects a resting heart rate and no movement. You may want to try to put your sleep tracker on sensitive and see if you get different results.

This is happening to me too. (it is on sensitive, and shows stages, and a pretty good 'end of sleep' time.)

Last night to experiment I prepped for bed, turned off all the lights, and quietly read starting at 9:50.   At 10:00 p.m. sharp I went to bed, and fell asleep normally in :05 or :10 minutes.   My FitBit Inspire 2 shows:  11:16 p.m. - 5:44 a.m.

 

The end time 5:44 a.m. is spot on perfect.  The start time 11:16 is well over an hour late.  It should be approximately 10:05

 

Over the last two weeks I've been trying to consistently go to bed shortly after 10:00, My FitBit Inspire 2 show start times all over the map.

 

Half are in the correct zone (10:00 - 10:30)  the other half are over an hour or two late.   12:30 a.m.?  11:16 p.m.?

 

What can I do, what behavior, syncing, HR, temperature, to help the Inspire 2 more often correctly find my start time....It works sometimes (about 50%)
