Two sleep scores for one night?

[aaaaady]

Hi,

Last night I was tired and fell asleep on the couch. After a few hours a woke up and move to my bed. I could not fall asleep imidiately again and it took me about 1,5 to 2h to fall in sleep again. However, this morning when checking my sleep, I noticed Fitbit has recorded two sleep scores and does not seem to notice they are related (one is a poor and one fair), despite the fact that I slept about 8+ hours in total. Can Fitbit combine the "two" sleeps? How can I get a more accurate score?

Thanks in advance!

Due to you sleep periods having an awake period between them they where recorded as two independent periods of sleep. With both periods being longer than 3 hours they both received a sleep score.

Well you obviously just add the two together and get something over 100. Good job. 

If it were only that easy. I got up this morning and my Charge 3 showed that I had only gotten about 4.3 hours of sleep, and gave me a sleep score of 63. Kind of got me bummed out. I felt tired and thought about just going back to bed and then showing up at work late. But I powered through on my normal schedule. Later, just a few minutes ago, I looked at it again. The sleep score is still 63 but the cumulative time is now adjusted to 6:11. And the graph shows the added sleep time. Not sure how that happened, but it seems more accurate with what I experienced last night. Kind of wonky if you ask me, whatever that word means.

No you would not want to add the two scores, but average the two scores. Your average probably should also take into consideration the time sleeping for each period. 

I find the sleep score, a highly requested by Fitbit users very valuable for getting an over all number for sleep quality. The old version really did not give much info on over all sleep quality. It was good in giving the user an idea of how long they slept. This is still shown when drilling down. 

The other info that i was able to see at a glance before is still availible by tapping through the individual tiles. 

What i miss is that i found it easier to swipe between tiles rather than having to tap and return.

This happens to me every night,  but it always calls  one the night  i slept and the other it calls today.  Stranger still, it seems like the two dont match.

In the app, you can click the pencil icon under the sleep section, and edit the start and stop times to make it one continuous sleep period. However, when I've done that, it's had trouble with calculating the sleep score. I don't mind this, as I find having two separate sleep scores to be not that helpful (it doesn't calculate enough deep sleep for me as two scores).

Fitbit says that a manualy added or edited sleep record, should not see sleep stages. Without sleep stages a score should not be seen.
