Fitbit Blaze adding big stats while i'm sleeping

Hi

 

Just got my BLAZE for my birthday on Tuesday. I've found that when I wake up it has tracked quite substantial movement.

 

I slept right through but my sleep tracker said i walked 0.08 miles, done 242 steps, went up a flight of stairs and burned 592 calories, all in a 6 hour sleep.

 

Is it broken or am I doing something wrong?

 

Thank you

As you aren't a stone, you move during your sleep. So it can cause steps counting, you move your arm. And you burn calories during your sleep, because you are alive. Your body is working.

Yes @GingerRicky what @The_Lion says about calories applies if your alive your going to burn calories this is your BMR or Basic Metabolism Rate. It's what your body burns to stay alive while you are not moving.

But for the step count? I'm not sure, do you move around at night? As The_Lion points out, movement may give steps and I'll add there must be 5 step like move menu before they are counted. Is there anything else such as a dog that might be disturbing the bed? Your tracker should be monitoring movement, so we should assume there is some movement going on here.

One last thought, a walk to the bathroom or are you sure that you do not sleep walk? I know several people that did not realize it until after they got a fitbit. 

 

What you could try is a restart by simultaneously holding both the left and lower right buttons in.

Ok let's look at the floor count, this is calculated by changes in air pressure, is there a fan or some breeze in the room. Now stairs will not be counted unless the tracker is counting strps. So first let's figure out why steps are being counte, and start with that restart procedure mentioned above.
Let us know about tomorrow morning.
