Understand your sleep patterns and quality with the Fitbit app.
Learn about sleep tracking
Wrist-based Fitbit devices and Google Pixel Watch series automatically detect your sleep when you wear your device to bed. We recommend you wear your device in a snug wristband during sleep. Do not wear your device in a clip or pendant accessory.
When your body is completely at rest and you haven’t moved for about an hour, your device records that you’re asleep.
If your device doesn’t track heart rate, you can check your sleep pattern in the Fitbit app. Your sleep pattern includes your time spent awake, restless, and asleep. Restless sleep indicates that you move in your sleep, like if you toss and turn. If your device detects excessive movement, enough that restful sleep won't be possible, your device records time spent awake.
Fitbit devices that track heart rate (except Charge HR and Surge) also track sleep stages. Learn more about Fitbit sleep stages.
Sync your device each morning to review your sleep data, such as your sleep score. You can check this information on your Fitbit device or in the Fitbit app.

Check and edit sleep details
Important:
- This feature is available with a Fitbit Premium subscription.
- This feature impacts your device’s battery, so we recommend charging your device to at least 40% before going to bed. If your device runs out of battery during the night, the noise level chart will be missing some data.
- Your device isn’t able to identify whether snoring comes from you, someone sleeping nearby, or even a pet.
- You must wear your Fitbit device during sleep to collect snore and noise data and your sleep must be at least 3 hours long in order to receive a Snore & Noise Report.
- We only use the microphone to register noise level and snores. We don’t save any audio recordings.
- This feature isn't intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition and shouldn't be relied on for any medical purposes. It is intended to provide information that can help you manage your well-being. If you have any concerns about your health, talk to a healthcare provider.
The snore and noise detection feature allows the microphone on your Fitbit Sense or Fitbit Versa 3 to track noise while you sleep. By analyzing noise information every few seconds, your device can track the overall noise level of your surroundings and check for snoring throughout the night. When you wake up, your nightly results are summarized in a report.
To turn on or turn off snore and noise detection:
- Open the Fitbit app
.
- From the Today tab
, tap the Sleep duration tile.
- Tap the menu icon at the top right
Settings.
- Turn on Snore & noise detect. When you turn on snore and noise detection for the first time, follow the on-screen instructions.
Tip: If there’s too much background noise, your device’s microphone can’t pick up snoring. For best results, do not play white noise or other ambient sounds during sleep.
To check your snore and noise report:
- Wear your Fitbit device to sleep. Snore and noise detection doesn’t analyze previous nights’ sleep. You receive your first report the day after you turn on the feature.
- When you wake up, open the Fitbit app on your phone. From the Today tab
, tap the Sleep duration tile.
- Swipe to the bottom of the page and tap the Snoring & Noise tile to show your "Snore & Noise Report." Your report shows the amount of time your device detected snoring and a chart of the noise level throughout the night.
- The amount of snoring is categorized as:
- None to mild (less than 10% of the total time you were asleep)
- Moderate (10% to 40% of the total time you were asleep)
- Frequent (more than 40% of the total time you were asleep)
- The noise level chart shows the volume of your sleeping environment in A-weighted decibels (dBA). The dBA metric measures the relative loudness of sounds to the human ear. A dBA of 0 doesn’t mean there’s no sound, but that it’s not audible to the human ear. For example, a soft whisper is 30 dBA and a coffee grinder is 70-80 dBA. Your overall noise level is categorized as:
- Very quiet (30 dBA or lower)
- Quiet (30-50 dBA)
- Moderate (50-70 dBA)
- Loud (70-90 dBA)
- Very loud (90 dBA or higher)
- The amount of snoring is categorized as:
To delete snore and noise data:
- Visit the Manage your Fitbit Data page in your web browser.
- In the "Snore & Noise Detect" section, select the start date and end date of the data you want to delete, then tap Delete.
To help you achieve your sleep goals and establish a consistent sleep routine, use the Fitbit app to set a sleep schedule. You can set either a bedtime or a wake-up time target, or set both targets.
If you meet your target when you go to sleep or wake up within 30 minutes of the target, a star appears in the sleep schedule graph. You won’t find a star If you set both bedtime and wake-up time targets but only meet one.
How Fitbit estimates your sleep time
If you have 5 or more sleep logs, your sleep goal is estimated based on an average of these logs. Your wake-up time target is estimated based on the time you typically wake up each day. Your bedtime target defaults to the time you should go to sleep in order to meet your sleep goal.
If you have fewer than 5 sleep logs, you can provide an estimate of how much sleep you get on a typical night. Your sleep goal is set based on this estimate. You must manually set your bedtime and wake-up time targets.
