What is a normal amount of restlessness?  I seem to be very restless...so im finding out.  May be I should see a doctor LOL

Last night I was restless and awake, but that seems normal for me. There is an article explaining sleep tracking. You can read it by clicking here.

Several others have expressed amazement at their results and have posted. It seems many of us use the sensitive setting on the tracker. I do.

If you're concerned about your sleep, you can always check with your doctor or your health insurance nurse.

Welcome to the forums.

I feel restless too. I have been listening to a meditation app before bed. I guess it helps.

It might be the sensitivity setting on the fitbit. It might be you are a bit more restless than other people; we all have sleep patterns that can vary widely. It MIGHT be that you are turning on the sleep setting before you are actually ready to fall asleep :).

I find that if I turn the "Sleep" on too soon, or lay awake early in the morning half awake, listenng to the radio before the alarm goes off, it says I am restless... on the other hand, sometimes I fall asleep in 2-5 minutes, wake up at 2AM, and AM restless for a few minutes or longer. Over a period of time I think it will be easier for you to decide what might be the "restlessness" problem. 

It may also be that you are logging your sleep after the fact, on the next day - so you might be guessing a little bit about when you actually fall sleep, and when really wake up.

Also think about how much caffeine you have had, or how much TV/computer time you have had in the hour before bedtime. That can also make you more restless as you fall asleep.
