Steps during sleep

‎06-28-2014 05:11

I am pretty sure I do not sleep walk. Last night I got up once around 6 am to go to the bathroom. The number of steps for the round trip is about 22, but the fitbit seems to have recorded twice that. And there are several other times in the night where it records 10 or fewer steps. My sleep sensitivity is set to normal and I know I put it in sleep mode before bed and took it out this morning. . I feel like I slept pretty well otherwise. Is the fitbit mistaking movement in bed for steps?

@billonestyWas the sleep record in the sleep log, if so, that should not happen. Obviously if it was in the Activity Log there was not enough sedentary time for Fitbit to assume you were asleep and the activity timer was working. If that were the case, edit the record and change it to a sleep record.

 

Ignore all of this if I'm not correct and if it is happening too frequently I would send an email to Support at this link

Between the hours of 3.00 am and 3.45 am, my fitbit recorded that I did nearly 4000 steps. I am aware I woke to go to the toilet at least three times but that would only account for 100 steps or so. Data has also recorded the steps as 'intense' exercise (?!)

 

I did have a disturbed sleep with my sleep tracker showing I was awake for around 12 mins around the above time. My phone also shows I sent a text around that time. I am however very confused.  Up until last night, data during the night has been very accurate.

 

Any explanations are welcomed!
