Staying asleep.
Hmmm...Is there a pattern? meaning time or frequency?

About 4 hours which ties in with previous use of "sleep aids" & possibly a raise in cortisone/adrenaline levels due to low blood sugar.

It was the sleep tracking part that got my interest. There was a little piece on it in a runners mag so I checked out the website.
Pulse I would presume that's being used to monitor your sleep patterns. Might be worth firing over an email asking how it all works.

Hi,
It's important that you get a good night's sleep. Recent studies have shown that sleep quality is linked to overall wellness. Have you ever wondered why you still feel tired even though you think you've gotten a full 8 hours of sleep? The Fitbit Tracker will allow you to "see" what your body is actually doing at night. As you fall in and out of sleep, the Tracker tracks the movements that your body makes and can tell you how long it took you to fall asleep, how many times you woke up throughout the night, and the actual time you were asleep vs. the time you were in bed.
To track your sleep, place your Tracker fully inside the slot on the included wrist band before you get into bed. This wrist band should be worn on your non-dominate hand. Right before you start trying to fall asleep, press and hold the Tracker display button for 2-3 seconds. You will see "START" or the stop watch displayed on your Tracker. If you press the Tracker button again, the icons for calories, steps, and distance will be flashing.
As soon as you wake up in the morning, remove the Tracker from the wrist band and press and hold the Tracker button for 2-3 seconds until you see "STOP". You can wear your Tracker as usual after that.
The next time you sync your Tracker to your Fitbit account, your sleep log should show on your Dashboard.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
