Fitbit Ace 2: Tracking Sleep And Dreams

The Fitbit Ace 2 is a wrist-based device that can track sleep. However, it does not do so automatically. To track sleep, the user must open the Fitbit app, tap the Sleep duration tile, and tap Sleeping heart rate to find stats for their most recent sleep session. The user can also adjust the sleep session's start and end time in the app. It is recommended that the device be worn in a snug wristband during sleep, positioned 2-3 finger widths above the wrist bone.

How does Fitbit Ace 2 track sleep?

Fitbit Ace 2 does not track sleep automatically

The Fitbit Ace 2 does not track sleep automatically. If you want to track your sleep, you must manually sync your Fitbit device. You can do this by wearing your Fitbit device to bed and ensuring that it is snug on your wrist. When your body is completely at rest and you haven't moved for about an hour, your device will record that you are asleep.

To accurately track your sleep, make sure your device is positioned higher on your wrist, about 2-3 finger widths above the wrist bone. The band should feel secure but not too tight. If you are still experiencing issues, try to manually sync your Fitbit device again. Check if your sleep setting is set to 'Sensitive'. If it is, change it to 'Normal'.

If your Fitbit Ace 2 is still not tracking your sleep, you can try to reset your device. Let the battery run out and then charge it again, pressing the small reset button on the USB end of the charger. This will restart your device and may fix the issue.

Additionally, to track your sleep, you can go to the Fitbit app on your phone. Open the 'Sleep' tab, click the '+' sign, and tap the 'Begin Sleep Now' box. This will allow you to manually start tracking your sleep session.

Manually tracking sleep with the Fitbit app

The Fitbit app provides your sleep statistics, sleep score, and insights into your sleep quality. To manually track your sleep with the Fitbit app, follow these steps:

• Wear your Fitbit device to bed: Ensure your Fitbit is snug on your wrist during sleep. The device should be worn about 2-3 finger widths above the wrist bone. It should be loose enough to move back and forth but tight enough that it doesn't slide off your wrist.
• Check your sleep data: Open the Fitbit app on your phone and select the "Today" tab. Tap the "Sleep" or "Sleep Duration" tile. Here, you can view your sleep history for the past week, month, or year. You can also see your time spent awake, restless, and asleep.
• Edit or delete sleep data: To make changes to your sleep data, tap the three dots or the pencil icon on Android devices. This will allow you to edit the start and end of your sleep time. You can also delete a sleep log by swiping left on the entry and selecting "Delete."
• Set bedtime reminders: To help maintain a consistent sleep schedule, enable the "Bedtime Reminders" function in the Fitbit app. Set your preferred time and frequency for bedtime reminders.
• Use the Smart Wake feature: The Smart Wake feature wakes you up when you are in a stage of light sleep, helping you feel more rested when you wake up. Set your alarm and turn on this feature in the Alarms app on your device or phone.
• View your sleep profile: On the first day of each month, you can access your detailed sleep profile in the Fitbit app or on your Fitbit device. This provides a more comprehensive analysis of your sleep patterns and may include sleep phases, movement during sleep, and restorative sleep.

By following these steps, you can manually track your sleep using the Fitbit app and gain insights into your sleep habits.

Syncing issues and troubleshooting

If you are experiencing syncing issues with the Fitbit Ace 2, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem. Firstly, make sure that the Ace 2 is connected to a Wi-Fi network and Bluetooth is turned on for both the tracker and your phone. Check that the Ace 2 is charged and within range of your phone. If the issue persists, try restarting your phone and the Ace 2 tracker.

If the above steps do not work, try the following:

• Remove the tracker from your phone's Bluetooth settings.
• Turn off other nearby Bluetooth connections.
• Force quit the Fitbit app.
• Reboot your phone and restart the tracker.
• Re-open the Fitbit app and try to sync the tracker.

If you continue to experience issues, you may need to contact Fitbit support for further assistance. It is also recommended to ensure that the Fitbit app and your phone are up-to-date.

Recommended sleep tracking settings

To track sleep on the Fitbit Ace 2, you must first ensure that your device is set up to track sleep. To do this, open the Fitbit app and tap the Sleep duration tile. From here, you can set a sleep goal and bedtime reminder. You can also adjust the sleep sensitivity setting—the default setting is "Normal", but you can change it to "Sensitive" if you wish.

Next, make sure that your device is positioned correctly on your wrist. It should be worn about 2-3 finger widths above the wrist bone, with the band feeling secure but not too tight. It is also recommended that you wear your device to bed in a snug wristband. Do not wear your device in a clip or pendant accessory, as this may affect its ability to track your sleep.

For the Ace 2 to accurately track your sleep, it must be worn during sleep for at least 14 days during the previous month. These days do not have to be consecutive. The more sleep you log, the more closely your sleep profile will reflect your patterns.

If you are experiencing issues with your sleep tracking, try manually syncing your device again. If this does not work, you can try letting the device's battery run out and then charging it again while pressing the reset button on the charger cable.

Tracking sleep with heart rate data

To track sleep with heart rate data on the Fitbit Ace 2, users should wear the device to bed. The Fitbit Ace 2 will automatically detect sleep when the device is worn on the wrist during sleep. It is recommended that the device is worn in a snug wristband, positioned about 2-3 finger widths above the wrist bone. The band should be secure but not too tight.

The Fitbit Ace 2 will record that the wearer is asleep when the body is completely at rest and no movement has been detected for about an hour. The device will also track sleep stages, such as time spent awake, restless, and asleep. If the user moves a lot during sleep, the device may record this time as being awake, as excessive movement indicates a lack of restful sleep.

To view sleep data, users can open the Fitbit app and tap the Sleep duration tile on the Today tab. From here, users can tap Sleeping heart rate to find stats for their most recent sleep session. Users can also check sleep stats for other days by choosing the desired week, month, or year using the tabs.

Users can also adjust a sleep session's start or end time in the Fitbit app. Additionally, the sleep sensitivity setting can be changed from 'normal' to 'sensitive' in the app settings to improve sleep tracking accuracy.
