Blaze sleep mode

[SunsetRunner]

I bought a zippered wrist band to put my blaze in to sleep in. I used it last night but it didn't track my sleep. Does anyone have experience worth this or know why it wouldn't track?

My best guess is that you are blocking the heart rate sensors which is one of the criteria it uses to determine when you are sleeping.

That's what I thought too,  but how does the actual sleep band work?  Is there a place for the heart rate monitor to stick out of the back on that?

Without knowing what and you actually bought, and not having one in front of me, makes your question hard to answer. My guess is that unless the band was designed for the Blaze than no for the HR hole. You mihht be able to make your own hole, but first youll have to immobilize the Blaze somehow.

It is a sweat band with a zippered pocket. The blaze slips in easily and it zips up. It sits on me wrist just like in the wrist band, but it's totally covered in the sweat band. I bought it on amazon.

@SunsetRunner Our HR trackers (Charge HR and above) use the lowering of your heart rate to determine when you're going to sleep, and help our auto-sleep recognition get precise times for start/stop. 

I imagine that without the HR, it's hard to pick up a point of reference for entering sleep mode, which would explain lack of sleep. A workaround that should help would be to disable HR altogether every night before bed (tedious, but should do the trick) so that the auto-sleep tracking reverts to movement-based algorithms.

I switched it to auto mode before I went to bed.  I'll try to turn it all the way off tonight and see what happens.  Thanks!
