Sleep sensitivity

I find my sleep results to be very inaccurate. Set to "normal", I'm sleeping 8+ hrs a night, while set to "sensitive" it's between 4 and 5 hrs a night. The range seems too broad. I believe I'm somewhere in the middle and have emailed Fitbit to change sleep senitivity settings to "high", "medium" and "low".
Does anyone else have a similar experience with sleep sensitivity?

I have thought the same thing, although I have only had my tracker set at "sensitive" I am only getting 4 to 5 hours of sleep.  I set it to sensitive because I have been having trouble sleeping and I wanted to know just how bad it really was.  Now that you have shown that the different settings can give different readings I am going to reset it to " normal" and see what I get.  I know I'M not getting enough sleep at night and I'M not a day sleeper, sooooooo.  I'll let you know if my sleep changes like yours did, when you reset your Fitbit to "normal".  ****** Merry Christmas ******

Did they respond to your email about High, Med & Low sleep settings?  I think this is a great idea!

I have the same issue. Have had it on normal for years, but was tired of it showing I had slept 8 hours and missing all the times I woke up. So I switched it to sensitive a few weeks ago and now I average 4 - 4/12 hours, which I know is much lower than what I actually sleep. Sleep tracking, at least for me on both settings, has been very inaccurate. I know I wake up a lot, and was relying on this part of the app to help me identify my sleep pattern but it's too inaccurate to do that. Seems like adding a meeting setting would be appropriate and be the 'new normal'.

I choose the sensitive setting just so I can see the toss and turns more accurately. If I set it to normal, I just get a block of sleep without any details. I'd like a "medium" setting that still has the detail of the sensitive, but isn't so quick to count those restless areas as non-sleep.
