Are there any standards for sleep efficiency by age groups? I assume young people are more sleep efficient than older people but by how much?
If you are 70% sleep efficient at 65 years is that relatively normal for the population?

The sleep stats on the fitbit are normed for age so if you are 65 years old and getting 70% efficiency, that means the 70% is for your age group and is low. I am 52 and get about 97% on average, for my age group. If I compare to other age groups my % changes.

I was wondering about this too. I don't think they do it by age when they give you your efficiency number though, as the above poster states. I'm pretty sure when it says 70%, they are talking about a calculation of time asleep (not stirring) versus time awake (stirring or awake). If you have premium though, I do think you can compare to others as the above poster is saying.
Anyhow. I am 47, and when I use the regular mode, I get sleep efficiency in the high 90s (though not as many hours as I think I need), and I get sleep efficiency around 75-80 when I use the more sensitive mode.
