If you are also troubled by this, you can try restarting the device, ensuring that the battery is completely charged, adjusting how you wear your Fitbit, or changing the sensitivity setting. This article will give you an overview on the sleep tracking feature and what may cause your Fitbit to stop monitoring your sleep.

How does Fitbit sleep tracking work?

The newer Fitbit models have an automatic sleep tracking feature, which requires you to sleep for at least an hour in order for the device to begin collecting data on your sleep quality. The device classifies your sleep as either restless, awake, or asleep. ..

The Fitbit Charge HR has heart-rate sensors, but does not track sleep stages.

What causes your Fitbit to stop tracking sleep, and how to make it work?

The inconsistency or stop-watch issue with Fitbits is caused by a variety of factors, including the user’s activity level and sleep schedule. If the user’s activity level or sleep schedule changes, their Fitbit will not track their sleep well.

If you are facing any issue with the Fitbit, try restarting it and see if it fixes the problem.

  1. Reset your Fitbit by pressing and holding the button for five seconds until it turns off.
  2. Remove the Fitbit from your wrist and insert it into the charging dock.
  3. Connect your Fitbit to your computer using the included USB cable.
  4. Open the Fitbit app and select “Reset Your Device.”
  5. Enter your email address and password, and select “Yes” to confirm.
  6. Your device will reset, and you’ll be prompted to choose a new name for your account.
  7. Select “Create New Account” to create a new account or enter an existing account name if you have one already. ..

If your Fitbit’s battery is very low, it may have turned off the sleep tracking feature to conserve battery during the night. To make sure it tracks your sleep at night, you must charge it before bed so it may have enough battery to last through the night.

Wearing a Fitbit can help you stay on track and motivated. By tracking your activity and calories, you can see how much weight you’ve lost or gained, and adjust your diet accordingly.

If you’re not wearing your Fitbit correctly, another reason could be that you’re not getting enough sleep. Wear it on the inside of your wrist while sleeping, and make sure it’s firm but not too tight. ..

If your Fitbit has a feature allowing you to wear it in a clip (like Inspire 2), then it automatically sets itself to on-clip mode once you wear it in a clip. It can then only track whether you are awake, restless or asleep, and you don’t get your sleep score.

  1. Open the phone’s Settings app and scroll down to the “Wristwatch” section.
  2. Toggle the “Wristwatch Mode” option to “On.”
  3. Close the Settings app and your wristwatch will now be in wrist mode.

To quickly access your phone’s settings while watching a video, hold down the button on your device for two seconds. Once Quick Settings is displayed, tap on-clip. This will put your phone into on-wrist mode and allow you to press the button to return to normal viewing. ..

This is a tricky feature of Fitbit; the device does not function properly if not set correctly. Now, the default setting is “normal”, tracking only significant movements when sleeping. Still, if it is on sensitive mode and you make a lot of movement during your sleep, it may look like you aren’t sleeping.
