I keep seeing post replies about getting enough deep sleep. The Fitbit tracks a person's sleep cycles if you wear it overnight: REM, light, and deep. According to my Fitbit report each day I get between 11 and 15% each night. Do you think these reports are accurate?
I got 12% again last night (according to the daily report) but woke up feeling tired and achy again.

I have a generic to fit bit and it tracks deep and light sleep. at least 90 percent of my sleep is light. Which my sleep Dr said means i dont go into REM sleep either. I am not sold on them being accurate because they go by heart rate only which is the same thing my sleep Dr said. It doesnt even always read right on when i was up because my heart rate doesnt always go up right away.

Yeah, fitbits for sleep mointoring... Hubby has one and they're pretty useless from what three or four doctors have said to him. It sucks, b/c you want to monitor things but (fill in blank on costly stuff)...

I'm with everyone else, I have a low heart rate normally and it says I get a lot of deep sleep, even if I was tossing and turning a lot, and unless I get out of bed it doesn't usually recognize if I wake up. It can be useful to compare one night to another but you can't necessarily believe the numbers
