Sleep score: scientifically inaccurate, demoralizing and not actionable

[Jessgrl325]

The sleep score is scientifically inaccurate, demoralizing and not actionable! I have the ability to change the number hours of sleep, when I go to sleep, etc. but the sleep score is useless information generated by an arbitrary formula. Give us the option to opt out of sleep score and remove it from our app so that we can see the hours slept and sleep cycles again (which is scientifically accurate and provides actually actionable data). If this is not fixed, I'm moving to Garmin, which has a scientifically valid platform.

Completely agree. I have chronic insomnia and I try not to look at the clock in the middle of the night. But I like assessing when I was awake, for how long, etc. the next day. The sleep score is more than useless - it is demoralizing! I get what, for me, is a great night sleep and I get a "poor" or "fair." If the score isn't removed I'm going to stop wearing my Fitbit at night and then switch to another watch.

I agree completely, I have been getting sleep scores in the upper 70’s and 80’s then a random 50 (where I got 8 hours of sleep and all of my sleep stages were in the optimum ranges). Hmmmm, doesn’t make sense. Way to start your day after looking at that and then anticipating having a “bad” day.

Hey everybody.

I would recommend putting your vote in on this request on the Suggestion board, which Fitbit developers actively monitor for new requests. The more votes a suggestion gets, the better chance it has at being implemented.

I read above that the Sleep Score is scientifically inaccurate, but see no links to any studies to back your claim up, @Jessgrl325
