Increase Sleep Sensitivity for Fitbit

I’m not usually a very restless sleeper. Therefore, my Fitbit doesn’t pick up on much that happens with me throughout the night. However, I’ve managed to make it pick up on more by increasing the sleep sensitivity.

To do so, open the Fitbit web portal, click on the Cog Wheel icon and then click on the device you’d like to configure.

Click on the device if it doesn’t automatically take you to that devices page and then scroll down until you see the Sleep Tracking option. Change that setting to Sensitive and then click  on another option to commit the setting change.

While at this screen, you can also disable some of the display settings, such as the flower, distance, calories, floors, clock, the greeting, cute things it says, etc. But me, I like my Fitbit just as it came, so won’t be changing any of that.
