Versa 2 counting calorie and steps during sleep

[Emma1009]

My fit bit versa 2 seems to be counting calories and steps after it’s reset itself on the night and I haven’t even walked anywhere I’ve just been asleep ... when I wake in the morning I have steps counted ... can someone help me with this please

I can explain the calories.

As well as tracking calories burned through activity your fitbit also tracks your BMR calories. These are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive (even when asleep). They are calculated from your profile settings for age, height, weight etc so you needn't be wearing your fitbit to get them. What you are seeing in the morning includes the total BMR calories burned since midnight.

I might expect a few steps tracked during sleep from restless movement misinterpreted as steps, but I wouldn't expect many. How many are we talking about?

Hi Steve thanks for your reply ... the steps are ranging in their 60s which I thought was a pretty high number for it to just be restless movements I have swapped my versa onto my less dominant hand to see if this improves but if it doesn’t what do you recommend? 

[SteveH]

60 steps is not a lot when compared to a default daily target of 10,000. I really wouldn't worry too much about it. Besides, other than what you are already trying, I don't know what else to suggest.

Thank you Steve your advice and information was very helpful 👍

Woke up this am and had 21000 steps tracked. I tried restarting phone and versa 2 and re sync but nothing changed. Made sure everything was up to date and charged. Still no change. This is frustrating.
