Sleep Deprivation wearing Fitbit One

I find the Fitbit One wristband very uncomfortable for sleep.  At the risk of giving TMI, I sleep in the nude and anything on my body causes a disturbance.  I tried the band for 2 nights and was very conscious of its presence--the band is noticeable, whether loose or snug and I was concerned about moving my arm too much or rolling over on it.  Consequently, I could not sleep.

you could just not wear the band.  i like all the other functions, but the sleep tracker seems a little gimmicky to me.  if i feel tired the next morning, i know i didn't sleep well.

I love the sleep tracker. I am always tired, and now I know how restless of a sleeper I am! That said, I have no idea how to improve it!!

You might want to experiment with other options for wearing the tracker. Some people have found they can get tennis wrist band (terry cloth) and cut a slit in it to slide the fitbit in. Or they use an old sweat sock. The fitbit band itself I have always found to be uncomfortable as well. Or, like others have said, just don't use the sleep feature. If you know you sleep ok, there might not be any reason to bother with this.

Most mornings I couldn't tell you if I slept well or not.  However, after noticing the fitbit every night for a couple of weeks I noticed a clear patten -  eating later in the evening caused me to be restless for the first hour or so after I fell asleep.   Changing my eating pattern slightly is giving me a more rested sleep - I wouldn't have noticed or made this change without the info from fitbit.  So, yes, perhaps for most wearers its not that useful to record sleep, but try it..... you might find it helpful.

If the band is big enough, try wearing it on your ankle

At first I was all to aware of wearing my band to bed also.  After a few nights I forgot about it and just sleep, toss & turn, etc all night and all is good.  Give it a 2nd chance.  I do NOT nowever wear mine in the shower - I want to keep it as sanitary and dry as possible.  I put it back on as soon as I dry off.
