does anyone experience sleep without awakenings?

How many awakenings constitute healthy sleep?

If I have between 10 and 25 awakenings during an 8 hour sleep does that mean I have a sleep disorder?

Not yet. I even changed settings to sensitive and according to results only slept for 3.5 hours one night when I know I was hardly awake.

Not Necessarily!

If Fitbit says you are awaking 10+ times a night, I would also say, look at how you awake each morning and how do you feel during the day or have you seen any physical changes. 

i.e: 

Do you awake each morning feeling like you didn't sleep at all? 

Do you go through the day feeling exhausted and take several naps?

With lack of sleep you would see 'bags' or black circles around the eyes.

My Fitbit says I have 0 awake moments but average about 8 restless periods a night.

I've only had my fitbit for a few days, but it confirmed what I already guessed that I am a very heavy sleeper.  So far, I've only had one awakening during each night, which I know it was true because I got up to go to the bathroom.  Then I usually have 1 or 2 "restless" instances, for only 1 - 2 minutes each.

Your awakenings do seem high, but I don't know what is normal.  It could only mean that you move a lot when you sleep.  Or maybe you're not getting fully into deep sleep.  What is your sleeping envrironment like?  Is it fully dark?  Is the temperature comfortable?  Is it quiet?  Do you take in a lot of caffein during the day? 

I've been reading a lot lately about the negative effects of blue light from computer screens and tvs disturbing the sleep cycle, so if you fall asleep with the tv on or use your computer right before bed, that may messing with you.

Waking or restless sleep does NOT mean you have a sleep disorder. Usually, it is a lack of specific vitamins. Stay away from any doctor or "friend" who suggests a drug -- those elements only mask an underlying problem. (kind of like putting perfume on crap to hide the smell). The true answer is find what you are lacking and if you need some natural aides to help your sleep until you find the missing vitamin -- try 2-3 ounces of all natural cherry juice, or a natural sleep product like CalmFort -- will also save you thousands of dollars!

I rarely do. I have to exhaust myself through physical exertion during the day to really sleep deeply all night.
