Sleep Stages

It is powered by PurePulse, uses accelerometer data and heart rate variability, plus Fitbit's proven algorithms to more accurately estimate how long you spend in light, deep and REM sleep stages, as well as time awake, each night:
- Light Sleep (including sleep stages N1 and N2) occurs throughout the night and is important for memory, learning and letting your body recover from the day.
- Deep Sleep (sleep stage N3) promotes a healthy immune system and muscle growth and repair.
- REM Sleep is when most dreaming occurs and is important for mental recovery and memory formation. Most REM sleep comes at the end of the night, and is often the stage to be cut short when your sleep duration decreases.
- Awake periods (between 10-30 times) are a normal part of your sleep cycle each night.

Sleep Insights

Using Fitbit data gained from over 3 billion nights of logged sleep, Fitbit is uniquely positioned to deliver powerful sleep insights that provide actionable guidance and coaching to help you improve the quality of your sleep and, in turn, your overall health.
