Sleep starting time inaccurate

Recently, My Versa doesn't start my sleep time accurately. I.E. I went to bet at 11:00 PM on Friday night and my fitbit says my sleep did not start until 3 AM. I know I did not lay there for 3 hours, I don't remember lying awake for very long at all. This has happened 2 or 3 times in the past week.

So @eezeepee the issue all of us are discussing here is an issue you have never experienced? Is that right? Our start and end times are significantly cut short, but you have never seen this with your watch?

@chris_in_cal Correct. All my start and end times are pretty accurate. They're all around 5 minutes, give or take, from when I last look at the time before going to to sleep or first time looking at it when I wake up.

 

It was way off Sunday morning but that was because daylight savings. Oddly enough, rather than subtracting an hour, it added an hour, so I was off by an additional 2 hours. I woke up at 9:15am (Daylight savings time) and it said 10:15am on Fitbit. So that's the only time I've had to adjust. But the minutes part was still correct.

Good. So to be curious let's exclude you own anecdotal data and imagine the other people and I are dealing with something you don't personally experience.

 

Imagine; my watch works just like yours and the quantified scientist youtuber for one night.  Sleep time and awake time all seem reasonable and the sleep stages are what they are.  A second night the same. Third night, yup. Fourth night..nope, it was a similar sleep but the watch shows a sleep time 2 hours after I actually did got to sleep. Fifth night back to reasonable again.

 

Imagine it's binary...on a night it works like what you experience, on a different night it seems to badly miss the sleep start time, then back to reasonable again.

 

I took my inspire 2 off for sleep tracking six months ago. A week ago I put it back on and it continues to have this binary hit or miss, with get sleep start time.

A few others here see the same hit or miss. Imagining this was happening to you, what steps would you take to address it?
