Fitbit registers periods of time when I am laying down and resting awake as time asleep. Therefore, reporting that I slept significantly longer than I actually did

Don’t use Fitbit for sleep tracking !

Hi @MikeD1964. It's good to see you participating in the community.

Thank you for sharing the experience about your Fitbit.

I'm sorry to know that the device is recording sleep when you are actually awake. Since the device detects sleep when your heart rate is low and your wrist is without movement, I'd suggest you doing little movements with your arm in order the device detects that you are not sleeping.

If the device is still recording sleep after following the advice, please restart it as suggested in this article:  How do I restart my Fitbit device?
