Sleeping

You

I have been using the sleep application on my versa 4, but it's not consistent. I found another way to monitor my sleep on the same application. Should I be using one or the other?

So you found 2 ways to monitor sleep with the Fitbit app, and you want to know which one to use, correct?

I think you would have to clarify the 2 ways.

I set my versa 4 when I go to bed and I turn on the sleep feature on the app. I get two different readings.

By 'turning on the sleep feature', if you mean "begin sleep now", that is not recommended.  You should just let fitbit figure out your sleep by itself.  "Begin Sleep Now" was just for older models that did have heart rate tracking, which is now used to detect sleep.  Older models had to detect sleep just by lack of movement, so needed the "begin sleep now" and "I'm awake" to prevent quiet awake times being detected as sleep.  But now with heart rate being used for sleep detection, that is best not used at all, and in fact can prevent sleep stages being detected.  The one use I have found for it is for shorter naps that would be too short to normally be detected by fitbit, i.e. less than an hour.

If you were not referring to "begin sleep now",  I don't know what you meant by "the sleep feature".

Thank you that clears things up
