Sleeptrack only records "last" sleep during night.

As others have noted, sleeptrack only records your "last" sleep during the night. If you get up and it takes a while to fall back asleep, sleeptrack overlooks your first sleep of the night.

Why can't the software be written to allow an additional sleep session if it starts within a set time of the first session ending? Would this be so difficult? (I assume the writers all sleep through the night and have no experience with waking and then falling back asleep.) If the objective is for people with sleeping difficulties to track their sleep, why doesn't the software accommodate these users. (FITBIT ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?)

Keep in mind that sleep is always credited to the day you wake up.  So if you go to bed at 9 PM, wake up at 11 PM, then get back to sleep, that 9-11 sleep will get credited to that previous day, not the same day as when you wake up in the morning.

Thank you. That seems to reinforce my thought about the sleeptracker not accommodating people who wake in the middle of the night. Sleeptracker seems designed to work best (only?) for people who sleep through the night. I am suggesting the software be updated to allow for mid-night wake ups.

I have the opposite problem.  Usually, if I end up awake in the middle of the night, my Fitbit thinks I'm sleeping when really I'm laying awake in bed trying to fall asleep.  My heart rate is probably low enough and I'm still enough that it thinks I'm sleeping.  So my sleep log will say 8+ hours when really I probably only slept 6.  

And this has been the case across all different Fitbit devices I've used.  I've thought about switching it to the more sensitive sleep setting to see what results that might yield.
