I just got my fitbit yesterday, and slept with it on to track my sleep. When I woke up there were already 41 steps logged. I don't sleep walk either. Anyone know why it's doing that? Or how to get it to track more accurately? I know I can negate the steps by going in after and put it in driving mode for the time frame I was sleeping, but I don't want to do that every single morning. Any input is appreciated, thanks!

@Kkrenz12 It's nice to have you on board! Your tracker is designed to detect your movement and translate it to steps so when you turn around while sleeping your tracker may detect a few steps. Still the amount should be low enough to be negligible so you can just ignore these steps. As you said there where 41 steps counted while you slept, compare these steps to the 8K or 10K steps or more that you do daily and it won't represent that much of your daily activity.

 

Let me know how it goes!

I have a brand new charge 2HR. After less than a week, it tracked over 4,000 steps in a week. Is there any way to reset this?
