Fitbit Overhauls Sleep Score With Six Metrics and Coaching in Public Preview

Clear metrics with coaching aim to turn sleep data into specific habits.

Overview

  • Fitbit began rolling out the reworked Sleep Score to Public Preview users on Wednesday, with the new view available in the mobile app.
  • The score now breaks into six parts: total sleep duration, time to sound sleep, sound sleep, restlessness, interruptions, and full awakenings.
  • New algorithms treat the whole night as one continuous journey, so many people will see different scores than they did before.
  • Premium members get Personalized Insights and a digital Coach that suggest steps like putting screens away 30 minutes earlier or trying guided breathing.
  • During the preview, Fitbit warns of bugs including mismatched scores between device and app and failed Coach queries, and it says fixes are in progress.
