As reported, Fitbit is testing “Sleep Labs” as a new experimental “feature that analyzes your sleep patterns to help you understand your sleep habits.” You have to opt-in to these “Sleep Insights and Tips,” with the Sleep Labs not yet appearing in Fitbit Labs for all users. Check the You tab to “See all” Fitbit Labs, with Insights explorer seeing wider availability as of late.

A daily sleep journal has you answer a “short 2-minute survey that asks you several multiple-choice questions and a free-form question about anything else that may have impacted your sleep.” That, along with sleep tracking data, will then be analyzed by a large language model to create a “daily summary” that appears in the Today and Sleep stats screen: Your daily summary connects the dots between your sleep data, your survey answers, and your journal entry, to give you an idea of how these things relate. The daily summary lets you identify trends that help you build and maintain healthy habits, and break unhealthy habits to support your sleep health.



There’s also a weekly recap (if you complete four daily journals) that has “sleep trends for the week and tips to improve your sleep,” with Fitbit also suggesting “personalized missions that track specific sleep recommendations depending on the details you provided in your daily journal.” More on Fitbit: Fitbit redesigns Weight stats page Yes, Fitbit subtly tweaked the app’s color palette Dark theme-less Fitbit app hits 100 million Play Store downloads Fitbit redesigns stat pages for Stress management score, Mood, and Mindfulness.
