Almost 400 steps while I am sleeping

[Evgenia_Evgenia]

Hello!

It seems that my daily results around 15-25000 steps are wrong since I noticed that fitbit had been counting my "steps" while I was sleeping. How can I change it? Thanks.

P.S. I am not a sleepwealker 🙂 yet)

Keep in mind all wrist trackers are movement detectors.. I typically get 200 steps while asleep and that includes a bathroom break, only 73 steps last night.... In the scheme of things you also lose steps in some domestic situations so it all evens out. I lose up to 1200 steps using a shopping trolley so I have multied my account with the Fitbit One (no longer available) and the Zip and get my steps back that way.

Thanks for the reply. I was laying in the bed last night, but "steps" were counting. It's wrong. May be it counts the movements of my hands?
My hands move a lot since I am sleeping with my little baby.

Thanks for getting back to the forum. You will have your hands full with the little one. Personally I wouldn't worry because over the years I have found it evens out.

You could try changing the setting for the active wrist to most dominant.  That could affect your daily totals.
