Suggestions for Sleep data Display and downloading data

[Cathyf123]

First of all, the display for sleep data is simply lame -- and I hope that means that the Fitbit software developers are busy behind the scenes building a better interface. Here are my suggestions:

1. Most other graphs on my Fitbit come with summary statistics over week/month/year, and sleep should have these, too. Everyone can have a bad night or a great night, and you need to see the big picture in order to know whether you have a problem or not. The "monthly" and "benchmark" displays on the sleep stages are a good start.
2. Along with summary statistics, another really important way to get the bigger picture is to quickly move through the days by paging forward and back over longer periods of time. This is totally impossible with the current interface where you have to drill down through multiple screens and pop ups to see a graph, and then come back up through all of those levels and drill back down to see the next or previous day. Every Fitbit graph should have swipe left/right to get to the next/previous day. On the phone, swipes are most natural, while the web interface the left and right triangles work great.
3. Everything shown on the phone interface needs to be available on the web interface. (I'm hoping that this is a simple case of you guys are working on it and it's not done yet. Certainly the one graph that is available on the web -- the sleep stages -- has a great interface on the web as opposed to an adequate one on the phone.)

4. We need access to the raw data!

1. A CSV file with timestamps and heart rates.
2. A CSV file with beginning times, ending times, sleep stage. (The info that appears when you mouseover the sleep stage graph.)
3. With the oxygen variation graph, I know that the Fitbit is not an approved medical device and so you can't really give us the SpO2 levels, but can you give us a CSV with the timestamps and the variation level (the data on the graph) at least? For those of us looking at data from other sources, knowing WHEN various things are happening is very useful!

Anybody else have arguments as to why some alternate ways of displaying info would be better? Or ideas for other info that the Fitbit should give us?
