I got a Fitbit about 10 days ago and I've been very happy with it. One thing I did notice is that I can't sleep well wearing it. The first night I couldn't stay asleep. Tried a few more times and woke up at 5am rather than my usual 7:30am. Also had weird dreams and felt strange. I know some other people have also experienced this so I want to share my theory - I believe it is both physical and psychological.

 

Physically, the electrons emitted from the device are interacting with your body at all times, and your body just can't rest entirely. Psychologically, when I put it on, my body thinks that it is a watch or accessory, so my brain recognizes it is time to stay alert as if it was daytime. 

 

Solution: I've stopped wearing it to bed and my sleep quality has returned to normal (usually perfect).
