Sleep tracking

[sammysmom]

Does the blaze have to be touching your skin in order to sleep track? I was hoping to not have to wear a big bulky watch to bed so I bought a wrist sweat band with a zippered pocket to use for night. The first night I had it on a normal sleep sensitivity and it didn't work. The second night I put it on sensitve and the same result....nothing. I did wear the watch to bed last night and it did work but I would rather not wear it to bed every night. Any other suggestions? Will it work with the fit bit one sleep band? I don't want to buy it unless I know it will absolutely work. I had a flex before this and it wasn't this bulky.

I believe that part of the sleep monitoring is tracking HR, so yes, it will need to be on your wrist.

I wonder if I turned off the heart monitor it would work? I don't need to monitor my heart rate at night.

No but it's part of the sleep analysis, so if that's what you want, you need HR

I did turn off the heartrate under settings last night and it worked in my wrist sweat band.
