How do you develop habit of setting the sleep monitoring

[dottyrc]

I've tried a couple of strategies, but I am not yet consistent in putting my Fitbit into sleep monitoring mode.  Any suggestions?

@dottyrc  Making it part of your nightly routine would be the best. For me, I tap my Flex into sleep mode as I check my alarm clock and turn on the radio. You might want to start sleep mode when you finish brushing your teeth or sitting on the side of the bed. Just pick one time and stick with it. You can do it!

Thanks so much for your suggestion re picking one time or behavior and
sticking to it. I have trouble with consistency, but this sounds like good
advice and I will do it! Dotty

I have had a problem lately with remembering to put my FB1 into the wristband and set it for sleep mode. I'm going to put the band on my electric toothbrush handle so that when I get ready for bed and brush my teeth it will be there. Brushing my teeth is the last thing I do before going to bed so it should be a great trigger to get the FB1 set up for sleep mode. Then when I get up and start my day I weigh myself, brush my teeth, get dressed and head out. Put the FB1 back into the clip and I'm ready for the day!

@Imadilley  Always good to associate something with putting your Fitbit to sleep. It's a great habit to get into and you're on your way!

I've been using the fitbit silent alarm, so when I put the alarm on, I know to turn on my sleep at the same time.  As someone else mentioned, it becomes part of the routine, so I don't have to think about it as much anymore either.
