What is sleep mode on fitbit?

My Fitbit has a 'sleep mode' feature. Does it just turn off the screen, or does it somehow track my sleep better in that mode? I'm curious to know what 'sleep mode on Fitbit' actually entails.

While Fitbit's sleep mode is useful to prevent the screen light from waking you up, remember these trackers aren't medical-grade. If you suspect you have a real sleep disorder, please get a clinical sleep study done instead of relying on app scores.

It is a setting on Fitbit that dims the screen and prevents it from turning on when you move your wrist in bed. It also silences notifications. Keeping my sleep undisturbed has been crucial for managing my blood pressure levels.

It basically stops your watch from shining like a flashlight in your eyes every time you roll over in bed. Now if only my Fitbit could also magically force me to actually fall asleep instead of just tracking my awake hours!

On Fitbit, sleep mode prevents notifications from disrupting your sleep cycles. I use it because proper rest is vital for managing my thyroid levels. Along with using these trackers, make sure you do regular blood tests and consult your doctor.

With my PCOS, getting deep sleep is really important for hormonal balance. The sleep mode on Fitbit stops notifications from waking me up mid-sleep, which is great. It's a helpful little tool, but I also make sure to follow my doctor's lifestyle advice.
