Time awake? so much.... is this normal???

I've been using my Fitbit Charge 5. Apparently it's the best one in terms of recording the sleep fairly accurately.

 

What surprised me is that every night I have A LOT of "awake time"!!! Many small "awake time" and some longer ones. This is with the "normal" setting

 

HELP IS THIS NORMAL???

 

Tuesday night:

22x Awake, total of 1 hrs 12 mins,

Many of those times were 30seconds – 1.5minutes

Five times it was roughly 5 – 15minutes long

 

Thursday Night:

37x Awake, total of 1 hrs 6 mins

Many of those times were 30seconds – 1.5minutes

Three times it was roughly 6 – 10 minutes long

 

Friday Night:

30x Awake, total of 1 hrs 15 mins

Many of those times were 30seconds – 1.5minutes

Six time it was 4-12minutes long

 

Monday Night:

27x Awake, total of 1 hrs 16 mins

Nine time it was 4-12minutes long

 

IS THIS NORMAL? Do other fitbit users have similar recordings?

 

My net sleeping time is around 6hours +-

 

Thanks

Hello! Perhaps in all of you you moved a lot, I sometimes have the same thing. Either there is a problem with the settings as it catches any change.

My Luxe records similar numbers and lengths of periods awake during the night. I usually spend about 7 to 8.5 hours actually alseep per night according to the app, and time awake ranges from about 45 mins to 1.5 hours, waking between 20 and 40 times a night for brief or longer periods.  Those periods occur throughout the night, but are also more concentrated around the hour or two before I get up, which makes sense as I tend to wake at about 6 and then drift in and out, snoozing until I need to get up.

 

So, in short, I don't know if it is normal, but it matches my experience.

I would like to know this also. i use a google watch. i am capturing 45 minutes awake. my overall sleep score is 78- fair despite sleeping 7 to 8 hours. my goal is to loose the dark rings under my eyes and to increase my readiness score indicating recovery. simply stopped watching the news after 6, limiting meals and putting myself to bed at 9 or 10 has increased me feom 5 hours to 8 and the rings are going away bit i need more oxygen. A relative of wonder woman advised me to take the food grade hydrogen peroxide feom the health food stores. Also taking sleep and restore sleep formula. another rsaponse from the community is i will have to subscribe to premium to understand more.
