To say that Fitbit provides one of the most comprehensive fitness monitoring experiences is not an exaggeration, given the company’s status as a market leader in the health smartwatch space. The watch’s ability to monitor sleep is among its most useful functions. The Fitbit can detect how restfully or restlessly you slept, as well as how many times you woke up during the night. You can use this data to learn about your sleeping habits and make adjustments to boost the quality of your slumber.
Though the watch may be worn comfortably at night, the buzzing of alerts can be annoying. The Sleep Mode on the Fitbit is perfect for this purpose. We’ll go through what Fitbit’s “sleep mode” is and how you may put it to use to get better rest in today’s article.

What is Sleep Mode on Fitbit?
Whenever you enter Sleep mode on your Fitbit, your wristband will no longer make any noise to notify you to incoming messages. This model is an enhancement of the Do Not Disturb function, as it not only mutes your Fitbit but also reduces screen brightness so that neither you nor your companion is distracted by the brightness.
If you have your screen set to “Slumber,” it will remain asleep even if you raise your wrist or otherwise disturb your sleep. To activate, you must double-tap the screen. The Always-on-Display (AOD) feature is also disabled without any user intervention.
By activating sleep mode, your Fitbit will prevent you from receiving vibration alerts or screen wake ups, but you will still receive notifications from your phone as usual. When comparing Sleep mode with DND, one of the most notable differences is that the former can be scheduled in advance. As a result, you can tell your Fitbit exactly how long you want it to stay in sleep mode.
Fitbit says that you can’t use DND and Sleep mode together.
How to turn on/off Sleep Mode on Fitbit?
It’s easy to activate or deactivate Sleep mode if you know where to find its icon. The crescent moon or half-moon icon is the universally recognized symbol for Fitbit devices. This button can be quickly accessed in the Fitbit Sense and Versa Series settings menu by tapping the corresponding icon.
The following table has been included to assist you in locating the sleep mode on your Fitbit.
Product Name | How to turn on/off Sleep mode on Fitbit |
Fitbit Inspire 2 | Wake up the screen >> Open the Settings >> Under settings Select the Sleep Mode >> Tap to turn it on/off. |

Fitbit Luxe | Go to Settings >> Quiet Modes >> Sleep Mode >> Schedule >> Tap to trun it on/off. |
The watch does a good job of keeping tabs on how long you snooze, but it doesn’t disable Sleep mode when you get up. Therefore, Sleep mode may be to blame if your Fitbit is not receiving any alerts or notifications.
If you want the device to notify you of new notifications or activate AOD, you’ll have to manually turn it off.
It is possible to automate this process by setting the sleep mode to activate and deactivate at predetermined times.
How to Schedule Sleep Mode on Fitbit?
As you may well know, activating and disabling Fitbit’s Sleep mode is a breeze. However, it can be difficult to time the sleep mode. How to achieve this is as follows:
- Open the Settings (gear icon) on your Fitbit Device
- Scroll down and select ‘Quiet Modes’.
- Next, scroll to the bottom and select ‘Schedule Mode’.
- Toggle on ‘Off-hours’.
- Enter the Start time and End time.
- You are all set!
Based on the timetable you’ve established, Fitbit will now automatically switch to sleep mode. If you don’t know, though, how will you find out?
How Do I Know if my Fitbit is in Sleep Mode?
And that’s easy, too. You may determine whether your Fitbit is in sleep mode in one of three ways:
- The first way is to simply look for a small crescent or half-moon. It will show for a few seconds each time you wake up the screen of your Fitbit during sleep mode.
- Check if the AOD mode is turned off
- Check if the screen wakes up as you toss your wrist. If it doesn’t, it means that the sleep mode is turned on.
What is Do Not Disturb vs sleep mode?
Some similarities between DND and sleep mode were already mentioned. Even though the Do Not Disturb mode prevents your Fitbit from alerting you to anything (calls, goal celebrations, or notifications from your smartphone app), the screen will still wake up when you move your wrist.
In contrast, the Fitbit’s sleep mode goes above and beyond DND by silencing the device and reducing screen brightness so that neither you nor your bed partner will be disturbed by the screen’s brightness. The Sleep Mode can be activated at a later time, whereas DND must be activated immediately.
Wrapping Up:
Use Fitbit’s sleep mode if you don’t want to be disturbed by calls or notifications in the middle of the night. Sleep mode can be activated manually, or it can be set to activate and deactivate at predetermined times.
