Sleep incredibly inaccurate

So basically, if I’m awake in bed, my Fitbit will just assume I’m asleep. I usually get 7-8 hours of good sleep, so I’m not really worried about it too much, but last night I was awake from 10pm to midnight, and in my sleep log it says I was was asleep during that whole time period. This on top of the inaccurate heart rate readings during exercise, is really making me wonder what the point of this device is. It seems that it is inaccurate on all fronts other than resting heart rate for me.

The device uses motion and heartrate to infer sleep. If you are still and your HR goes down, it might gauge that you are asleep. Some models have sensitivity settings you can modify. Since it’s getting tricked when you’re just resting, your sleep metrics might be more accurate if you lower the sensitivity. Hope that helps.
