@Missriver It's great to see that you've visited the Fitbit Community!

Let me help you with your Inspire counting additional steps. Your device will detect the movement on your arm and translate that movement into steps. There are situations in which your arm may move but you won't be actually walking. For example, this may happen when you are playing the drums, burping a baby or clapping. It can also happen while driving. You can negate these steps by logging a driving activity. You can try wearing your device on your non dominant hand but select that hand as dominant on the device’s settings to make it less sensitive to movement.

Let me know how it goes.

Mt fitbit read 9 steps when i woke up, but 1.5 hours later it jumped to over 12000, there is no possible way all of my movements added up to that much activity!
