Sleep scores with a newborn in the house

Just a comment on the sleep score algorithm. I can assure the FitBit developers that even though I "slept" for 7 hours last night I do not feel remotely as alert this morning after being woken up every 3 hours by a newborn than I do when I get a straight 7 hours of sleep. While last night was not my worst night of sleep in my life it definitely didn't warrant an 84 sleep score. 

 

I think the algorithm should more heavily weigh times awake during the night against your score.

Normally it does, at least for me it does. Though some people, when falling asleep again fall into a deep sleep fairly easily again, giving a lot of restoration. Just waking up at night doesn't mean you'll sleep poorly, also the type of sleep you're getting in and how restorative the sleep was count for a lot.
