How to Use Your FitBit for Sleep

FitBit is one of the best sleep trackers on the market. In fact, they’ve been in the sleep tracking game since 2007 - a long time!
Tom wore the FitBit Charge 5 for several weeks to determine its capability as a sleep tracker. But it begged a question: what does one actually DO with all of this sleep tracking data? How can wearing a FitBit actually improve or change our sleep?
So in this video, Tom explores some of the FitBit’s features and suggests some ways to use sleep tracking data to influence behavior and improve our sleep.

I have the VeryFit app. What does the respiration do and mean on the sleep tracking? All of my other data looks good, but the respiration shows poor.

I've owned the Versa 3 for about a year now without a subscription. I always wear my Versa to bed but often it doesn't give me any sleep readings when I wake up. Its really hit and miss. Maybe if I had a subscription the sleep performance data collection would suddenly improve 🤣Versa is great at keeping track of my steps. Most likely Fitbit & Apple use the same sensors. I like my Versa 3. I can't say one way or another if I'd recommend it. Hope this helps somebody.

Thanks for the feedback! We did find some of these trackers (like FitBit) didn't offer as much granular detail about our sleep as those with monthly subscriptions. Still, finding one that can at least tell you how long you slept and how long you were in each stage is about all you really need.

It always tracks it for me automatically. Maybe you aren’t wearing it tight enough or it’s on low power mode or something?
