The Fitbit Community is a gathering place for real people who wish to exchange ideas, solutions, tips, techniques, and insight about the Fitbit products and services they love. By joining our Community, you agree to uphold these guidelines, so please take a moment to look them over.
The fitbit only records movement (typically arm movement). How that relates to sleep is based on the assumption you progress through 4 or 5 stages of sleep, and in deep sleep you don't move much.
