Waking up during REM?

[HEDDWEN]

Does anyone else experience this? 

I'm going to the doctor soon for EDS, disrupted sleep at night, nightmares and hallucinations. 

I doubt it's narcolepsy because don't always fall asleep in under 8 minutes. Wondering what else it could be.

@HEDDWEN   Sleep stages are an EEG diagnosis.  Your Fitbit uses heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing rate, and lack of wrist movement to estimate sleep stages.  You can't draw any conclusions from Fitbit sleep stages.

Diagnosed narcolepsy type 1.

Thanks for your help.

@HEDDWEN   I'm glad you got the care you needed.

I really wish there was a feature to toggle on/off on fitbit if you have narcolepsy 😅 mine always shows i spend most time in light sleep and almost zero in every other stage. When if you look at every sleep study I've done you could basically reverse my REM and light sleep on my fitbit. Hopefully more options for those chronically ill like this are coming 🤔
