Inspire 3 - cruise ship sleep readings

[NitaVacation]

• Inspire 3 is not reading my sleep accurately while I am on a constantly moving cruise ship. Any suggestions on keeping it from reading the ship motion as a sleepless night?

There is no fix (except being docked overnight) so get used to it. The only thing you can do is manual entry of sleep and wake times.

Also get used to being “dead” at night since your device often won’t record that you’re breathing.

Also get used to your device not recognizing a number of time zones, especially if you’re sailing in the Pacific. A number of time zones default to UTC; they’re in the time zone list but they don’t work. The best thing you can do in that situation is to find the closest time zone to ship time that actually works, which means your device could be 1 - 2 hours different from ship time, in which case you’re best to use the time on your phone or tablet to figure out what time it is on the ship.

Oh and take your phone/tablet/device off automatically recognizing the time zones you’re in because it won’t do it at sea, only on land.

If you set your device to get the time from your phone be very careful which city you choose because they won’t all work for your device.

I cruise 2 - 3 months every year and my Fitbit is never happy when I’m at sea. You have to do a LOT of workarounds.

I've been on close to 40 cruises, I haven't had an issue with the sleep logs, except for one time during Hurricane Dori when we went over a big wave, causing me to be lifted out of my bed and slammed down. It was only 8 steps.

The only option I could possibly see that might be an issue for the Fitbit is if you're staying towards the aft (back) of the ship on a lower deck above the engines, but even that is a stretch.

Unless you want to pay for the Internet package for editing the sleep logs, I wouldn't worry about it.
