Can you adjust where sleep counts?

Slept last night from about 9:30- just before midnight, got up, tended to my toddler and was back asleep at 12:55...however it now looks like I slept 8 hours yesterday and only 4 today (when it should be more like 6 and 6. Is that something I can adjust so that my graphs are correct or is it not fixable? I know it is going by the day I woke up...but I pretty much want it to count any sleep after 9 pm as night sleep and tack it on to the next day.

Sometimes when I get up in the middle of the night (need to pee, moving to the other room because my husband is snoring, etc.), instead of just showing that I was awake and/or restless for a fair amount of time, it divides my sleep into two stretches, rather than one. What I do is go in and note the end time of the second one, then delete it. Then I edit the first one to end at the ending time of the one I deleted. This has always seemed to work fine for me, although I'm not sure it has ever thought I was awake at midnight, which could complicate it, I suppose. You'll need to pay attention to make sure when you do it that the date stays correct since the first record ended on one day and the second record started on the next day, but it should work.0

Mine seems to do fine knowing when I'm up or asleep. If I get up in the middle of the night and go back to bed, it counts it as restless or awake. I sometimes forget to tell it I've woken up in the morning (but I always note the time). So I just edit it back to the right time and it looks pretty accurate.0

Thank you! That fixed it, you rock.

Mine did fine knowing (I really was awake and asleep when it said) - it just logged the first 2 hours of my sleep on one day and the other few hours on the other (as if I had taken a 9:30-11 nap on day 1 and actually had my night sleep 12:55-6:25)

I used mine for the first time last night. It seems fairly worthless for tracking sleep, saying I was out like a light for 8 hours. At least I know I can't count on it to track sleep with any accuracy, I was awake all night as usual.0

It isn't going to be able to tell the difference between awake but not moving and asleep, that's true. It's not a perfect tool for analyzing sleep, but then again, it wasn't truly designed for that. Being able to track sleep is a side effect of the fact that it detects movement. If you tend to lie awake without moving much, you could try the sensitive setting for sleep. That might give a more accurate picture. (You can change an existing sleep record to sensitive, as the setting just affects the analysis of the data, not the collection of the data.)0
