What determines the time that fitbit tracks sleeping?  It seems to be tracking me at night, but I sometimes take a nap in the afternoon, and it does not seem to track that. Is it possible?

It will track anytime but needs at least 1 hour to detect nap, and 3 hours to get sleep stages.

 

Not officially approved, but I have found if I'm going to take a shorter (less than an hour) nap, I can use the 'Begin Sleep Now' to get it logged as sleep.

 

Also note sleep is always credited to the day you wake up.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
