" ... I became interested when it knew my resting heart rate and non-resting heart rate as well as sleep quality. ... Sleep is everything. ... The FitBit HR Alta told me how I slept last night, was very accurate as to what stages of sleep I was in. ... I have been in many sleep studies because I am a kicker, (meaning I wake myself up kicking) and this was also true midnight and 2 AM. ... My official sleep study with probes all over my head proved this is why I used to feel drained every morning and not really getting any REM. ... "

" ... I didn't expect to be that enthused about the sleep tracking feature, but it may actually be my favorite part. ... Since the Alta HR tracks your sleep and subtracts the times at night when you happen to wake up, this has shown me just how restless I can be and how much less sleep I'm getting than I realized. ... I've been able to make some adjustments to log more quality sleep time, and it's making a difference in my health. ... "
