Does anyone wear a watch that does sleep tracking? Am I abnormal?

Hello

I've recently bought a new running watch that seems to track everything. It tracks sleep too. It seems I don't really do deep sleep much (just over 1 hour is the norm) and the activity monitor shows I'm busy moving about all night. The consequence of this is that it says I get 'almost no restful moments' (in 24 hours) and that I'm at risk of exhaustion. The nights where I do get a lot of deep sleep, which seems to be once a week, it says I get enough restful moments.

I was wondering whether the lack of deep sleep has anything to do with my persistent recurring mental health problems, and so I'd like to know if my kind of sleep pattern is normal or not!

My Fitbit says I get about an hour's deep sleep per night. I thought that was normal?

So looking at my averages so last night I had 34 mins deep sleep, 48 mins awake, 4 hrs 34 mins light sleep and 1 hr 35 mins R.E.M. I was only below my bench mark for deep sleep

I have a FitBit and get barely any deep sleep... usually less than half an hour a night. I also wake up at least 6 times a night for 20-30 mins a time. I am always blooming exhausted! I’ve had sleep issues since I was a child though.

Have you got a Garmin perchance? I've started ignoring my stress readings because I think if they were as bad as they say they are I'd be dead!

I have a Fitbit that tracks sleep and benchmarks it for your age
