my App has started only showing simplified sleep data - no details of sleep stages. I asked friends and they are having the same issue.

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a great day! Smiley Happy

 

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. As @NHMike indicated, we had an issue with Sleep Stages from Feb 14th and 15th which was already resolved by our engineering team. I appreciate you have reported this situation and in case you're still not getting sleep stages, please check the in-app error notifications that provide an explanation for why you aren't receiving Sleep Stages on any given night. This is meant to provide insight into what might be occurring to cause this.The error messages are the following:

 

  1. We need more than 3 hours of sleep to reliably calculate your sleep stages. Learn more
  2. Your tracker couldn't get a consistent heart rate reading while you slept. Learn more 
  3. We couldn’t generate sleep stages for this sleep. Please try again tomorrow. Learn more

When you tap on Learn more, you will be able to get more information about why your tracker didn't record sleep stages. Additionally, I'd like to suggest the following:

 

  • For any of the nights you were expecting to see Sleep Stages, did you ever click on the "Begin Sleep Now" or "Add Sleep Log" functions within the Fitbit App?
    • This is important to note because your tracker uses auto-detection to track Sleep Stages; so there's no need to try and remember to click on anything before falling asleep! 
  • Do you have at least 3 consecutive hours of sleep?
    • This is important to note because you typically won't see sleep stages if you are waking up multiple times through out the night or taking short naps.
  • Your tracker's battery isn't at a critically low level prior to falling asleep.
  • Your device is tracking and syncing heart rate data.
    • This is important because Sleep Stages uses a combination of your movement and heart-rate patterns. 
  • Your Fitbit App is updated to the latest version.

I hope this can be helpful, give it a try and keep me posted in case you need anything else.Smiley Wink

Same here.  I got sleep stages Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.  Last night I got simplified data.  Charge 2.  The error message is the unhelpful "We couldn't generate sleep stages for this sleep.  Please try again tomorrow."

Same for me.  This happens a few times a year and the issue usually rests with FitBit and not your Blaze or other device.  The last time this happened, it took at least 3 days for FitBit to correct, so don't panic if you see the same thing tomorrow morning.

Add me too.  I sent a support message but have not heard back.  I did a soft reset today to see if that helps.

Fitbit Support reported earlier today on the Ionic forum (where this same subject arose) that there was a problem on their end which caused the sleep stage issue.  It’s now resolved.
