I'm mostly concerned about reading in bed 'cause I assume if it can't detect that, it can't detect, you know, staring at the ceiling. (though I guess I'm a lot more likely to fidget while staring at the ceiling.) I mean, I could get out of bed to read, but in my experience, that's even worse for sleep than reading in bed.
- brlewis 7y agoI work for Fitbit. I don't speak for Fitbit; this is my personal experience. If you get a Fitbit with heart rate tracking, which nearly all have now, it won't rely just on motion. For me it's worked great, showing an awake period at the beginning or end of my time in bed. More on how it works: https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/2163#AutomaticDetection https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/2163#Aut... If you buy directly from Fitbit's website, the satisfaction guarantee is 45 days so you have plenty of time to try it out and see how well it works for you.
- ancientworldnow 7y agoI have a Withings sleep pad that sits under my mattress and I find it significantly more accurate than other decives I've tried. It also easily tells between activities in bed (even motionless ones like reading or watching) vs sleeping (and all the assorted cycles). It also measures heart rate, breathing (and how many times you stop), and even snoring.
