Sleepwalking alert when steps are detected in a sleep mode

It would be an awesome feature if the wearer could be alerted when they are sleepwalking, if the silent alarm could be set to go off if steps are detected when in a sleep cycle or mode.

Hello @Ashby.Lu! This is a very nice suggestion, I think that a lot of user might find those alarms really helpful. Let's see what others think about this.

Such a feature would be very useful to me as well.

 

It could also be set up as a diagnostic feature since many sleepwalkers are not aware of their sleepwalking. For example, the fitbit app could notify the user the next day if it detects steps during the sleep.

I can see that this would be a huge safety feature for those that suffer sleep walking and therefore support it. However, I have the opposite problem, namely Fitbit thinks I'm asleep when I'm up.

 

As such, if developed, this feature should be an option set by the user.
