How to turn off sleep score

[dan801]

Is there a way to turn off sleep score? Sleep score is absolutely useless. As a shift worker and poor sleeper I’d like to know how many hours I slept per day and on an average week so I can catch up sleep. A sleep score is absolutely useless and judgemental. My wife sleeps like a log and I’m wrestles and sleep walk yet our scores are identical.

I don’t want some random meaningless number to judge how I slept. Being judged for poor sleep actually causes more anxiety and issues for my already bad sleep.

Good eye, I hadn't noticed that the "poor" type rating had changed.

Breach of contract. @GudrunWiebe

I had more sleep than target and was told get more Zzzzzs. So unbelievable. Must be a common core math algorithm. 🤣

I hate the sleep score too. I'd really prefer the average hours slept back. When will we be able to opt out?

Yeah - me too. It’s back as of this morning. It disappeared for a few days.

Sorry, I am starting to look at Garmin

[Dajjer]

Yep, I'm looking at Garmin too. They have a huge variety of watches and even a couple that look like the HR 3.  They too track rem sleep but as of today I can not say if they too have a sleep score. When I google image the Garmin app, they look to be free of a sleep score, but I'm not jumping ship until I know something definitively.

If  Fitbit would just keep the sleep score off the main page, there are navigation techniques to completely avoid the sleep score. (access sleep through community tab and then click what are you up to).

Oh well, If you do get a Garmin. please update us.

How about instead of claiming Fitbit has answered, you move these 12 pages to 'make sleep score optional thread'?

To split the same basic idea into 2 groups is a maneuver (on Fitbit's part) to make the issue appear smaller to your customers.

Sleep score is not just useless but very frustrating to see.  Worst idea Fitbit has had yet and we can’t even turn it off.  I don’t want to see it.  I want to go back to seeing my hours of sleep and breakdown of sleep stages and completely hide score.  It is demotivating to constantly see “fair” scores when that is all I will ever see.  I’m not competing when I sleep. I don’t need a score.

@ shmartyn
Well said.

[GudrunWiebe]

Competitive sleeping, I like your choice of words. I am use to working hard to get good grades, scores etc. Working hard to get a good sleep score is just anxiety producing. Also the scores appear to be so random. I match my hours in the different categories and the scores vary wildly even when the category totals are similar.

Fitbit; make that worthless sleep score optional or lose this customer!

[jacobsteel]

Could not agree more. The ”sleep score” does not work for me at all. I just want the hours. Please! 

[SunriseRun443]

How can they just delete that ode and bring the old way back !!!!

[SunriseRun443]

Yes I agree no point in a score that means nothing 

[SunriseRun443]

[SunriseRun443]
