By clicking on the sleep tile in the dashboard of your device or app, you can view all the details of your sleep. For an iOS device, tap on the particular day you want to view the sleep graph and quality. Tap the expander arrow in the top right to see more detailed data. You can drag your finger across the span on sleep to see a summary or specific times that were logged as asleep or awake.
For Android devices, you'll tap on the day you want to view. Then tap the expander box in the top right of your sleep pattern graph to view specific data for periods of time. Tap the expander box in the top right to return to an overall sleep summary.
 On any of the above devices, you have the option of selecting a "normal" or "sensitive" sleep setting. If you want a more basic idea of your general sleep patterns, select normal. The sensitive sleep setting will cause your device to track nearly all your movements as time "spent awake" and can give you a great understanding of how active you are in your sleep. , The different sleep states indicate your activity level while sleeping. These can be useful for people with sleep disorders and to understand how restful your sleep is. The frequency of your movement will also be used to calculate your "Sleep efficiency" which is calculated using the formula: 100* time asleep (time asleep + time restless + time awoken during sleep). A restful position would mean your movement is minimal and your tracker will indicate your body was fully asleep.
A restless state sleep will show up on your graph to indicate small movements common in tossing and turning.
If you move too much, your tracker may show you were awake, even if you weren't fully conscious and aware. This will show up in your sleep efficiency calculation as awake.
 All Fitbit devices except the Zip have a silent alarm option. This will gently wake up with a light buzzing on your wrist. This is great if you dread the blaring sound of alarms.

 All Fitbit devices have a sleep log accessible using your Fitbit app or by accessing your account.

If you notice your log is off, such as saying you were awake all night when you weren't, you can manually adjust the data. For iOS tap the sleep tile. Then tap the sleep log you want to edit. You can then adjust the amount of time you slept, or delete a log altogether. Then press save and the log will sync.
