Why has my sleep data changed from showing sleep stages to sleep patterns? I prefer to observe the sleep stages part of the data but have no way of changing it back to sleep stages on my fitbit.
Moderator edit: subject for clarity

Hello @WallyBit Welcome to the community forums!
There are some factors that could prevent your Fitbit device to track your Sleep Stages. I'd recommend taking into consideration the following information:
- If you slept in a position that prevented your device from getting a consistent heart-rate reading or wore it too loosely. For best results, wear your device higher on your wrist (about 2-3 finger widths above your wrist bone). The band should feel secure but not too tight.
- If you used the Begin Sleep Now option in the Fitbit app (instead of simply wearing your device to bed). For more information on automatic sleep tracking, see How do I track my sleep with my Fitbit device?
- If you slept for less than 3 hours.
- If your device’s battery is critically low.
For more information, you can see: What should I know about Fitbit sleep stages?
Hope this helps!
