Fitbit continues to enrich the Premium service of its connected watches and bracelets. With the introduction of sleep profiles, he wants to help his users better manage their sleep, by assigning them an animal that suits them.
Optional service of the Fitbit application, Fitbit Premium provides personalized advice to improve your physical condition, exercises and complementary analysis tools, based on the manufacturer’s products (watches and activity sensors, in particular). Used for in-depth sleep analysis (duration, heart rate, agitation, snoring noise detection), Fitbit Premium is now enriched with sleep profiles based on three main components, among which an animal supposed to match us.
A month-long sleep analysis
With these sleep profiles, Fitbit aims to produce long-term information, the analysis now being done over an entire month and no longer night by night (14 nights minimum to obtain a sleep profile, according to Fitbit) . The creation of a sleep profile is based on 10 key measures, made up from 1000 sleep characteristics and the analysis of more than one million anonymized nights of its users. Each profile thus provides the time elapsed before restorative sleep, the duration of this sleep, as well as that of deep sleep, or even nights with prolonged awakenings. These 10 metrics should help to better understand how to improve our conversations with Morpheus.
Six animals that correspond to us
For a more playful aspect, Fitbit associates the sleep profile with an animal (six in total) supposed to correspond to the way we slept during the previous month: bear for snorers, turtle for those who are slow to fall asleep , etc. Improving the different attributes of sleep can change the animal that corresponds to us. To go from tortoise to hare?
Sleep profiles will be added to Fitbit Premium starting July 4. The prices of the service do not change, at €8.99/month or €79.99/year.
