Fitbit users might be in for a big sleep upgrade! A leaked feature called Sleep Lab could soon change the way you track and manage your sleep schedule, offering personalized bedtime recommendations based on your unique sleep patterns.
Right now, Fitbit devices already provide a range of sleep-tracking metrics, but Sleep Lab seems to take things to the next level. Instead of just showing you stats, this feature could tell you exactly when to go to bed and wake up for optimal rest.
How Fitbit’s Sleep Lab Works
According to 9to5Google, hidden code in the latest Fitbit for Android app on the Google Play Store hints at an upcoming experiment called “Sleep need”—a core part of Sleep Lab. Here’s what it could mean for you:
- Personalized Sleep Calculations: Fitbit will ask you a few questions throughout the day and use your answers, along with your sleep data, to determine exactly how much sleep you need each night.
- Smart Bedtime & Wake-Up Recommendations: Based on your sleep needs, Fitbit will suggest the best times to sleep and wake up to improve your overall rest.
- Daily Sleep Surveys & Reminders: You’ll answer surveys in the morning, midday, and evening, and you’ll also get a 1-hour bedtime reminder to help you stay on track.
- Sleep Debt Tracking & Alarm Adjustments: The feature will track how much sleep you’re missing (sleep debt) and sync with your Fitbit alarms to keep you on schedule.
- Five-Day Tracking Requirement: To get the most accurate insights, you’ll need to wear your Fitbit for at least five days before receiving personalized sleep recommendations.
A Game-Changer for Sleep Tracking?
If Sleep Lab rolls out, it could make Fitbit one of the best sleep trackers available—without requiring extra devices like a smart ring or a separate sleep-tracking gadget.
While Fitbit hasn’t officially announced this feature yet, the leaked details suggest something big is on the way. If you’re looking to improve your sleep quality, this could be the update you’ve been waiting for!
