what modal tells the best sleep pattern?

‎05-29-2015 17:25

I have he flex and I was wondering which modal is the most intelligent in showing sleep pattern.

My flex needs to be put to sleep to record, and many times I forget to wake it up and it shows me asleep when I am breaking my back working in the yard!

 

Does anyone else has an answer?



Arise Awake stop not till the goal is reached.

While I have limited experience I can tell you that my Surge doesn't require any action on my part to record sleep patterns, other than wear it in bed.  Over the past two nights it has done a good job of detecting the times that I am going to sleep and awakening.  It detects "restlessness" which corresponds to times that things would be happening that would interfere with my sleep.  I am an extremely light sleeper so any activity in my room awakens me (wife coming in after I have, her going to bathroom,etc).

 

I did notice that last night I check the time on my Surge (tapped face to activate the light).  It recorded it as "restlessness."  Apparently for it to register as "awake" you have to get up and move.

If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got.

I have the Charge HR and like @Tinman53 says, I don't have to do anything but wear the Fitbit to bed for it to record my sleep. That said, sometimes if I am lounged out on the couch (watching a movie, for instance), the Fitbit will think I went to sleep because I am dormant for so long. That is my fault of course. Also, if I am lying still in bed but not asleep (I have trouble falling asleep), it will record me as being asleep when I am still awake.

 

Either way, I think you can go into the logging option and edit your sleep, but I don't know if you have a different interface than I do (Flex vs. Charge HR).
