Key Takeaways

  • Fitbit trackers pack the necessary hardware to monitor heart rate, movement, blood oxygen levels, and more to deduce how well you sleep.
  • The Fitbit app shows a sleep score ranging from 1 to 100 based on the length and quality of your sleep.
  • While Fitbit's sleep tracking is helpful for trend data, it's not as accurate as polysomnography for academic research.
