    It was thoughtful of your son to get it and I know that makes it special. But really, a cheap pedometer will tell you how many steps you take. And if you're like me, you know you don't sleep well or enough. And what can you do about it anyway? I mean, the UP won't help you get a good night's sleep.

    I was reading through these replys because I didn't know what an UP was....HOWEVER, I do know alot about not sleeping well or enough. I was extremely tired and was certain that if I could get a good nights sleep for a week that I would be fine. Mentioned it at an annual physical....of course the first reaction of my Doc was "pop a happy pill you must be depressed!" I refused the pills because I know IF I was depressed it was because I was exhausted...I wasn't exhausted because I was depressed...Long Story short...he scheduled a sleep study which I thought was insane! Discovered that I stopped breathing somewhere near 100 times in 4 1/2 hours of sleeping and it took me nearly 2 of those hours to finally get to deep REM sleep because my body kept trying to wake me up to breath....So a C-Pap (Continous Positive Airflow Pump) and 5 years of sleep WITH oxygen...I feel like a new woman! Please consider being checked.....sleep apnea can be a pre-cursor of heart attacks! Oh and even though the "average typical sleep apnea sufferer" is a middle-age, overweight male....I was diagnosed a month before my 38th b-day...weighed 138 lbs..and I'm a girl :smile:

    FitBit is another neat one, it's similar to Up but seems to offer more features.

    Ok, went to Best Buy last night to return my UP for a different size & decided that if they didn't have a bigger size then that was fate telling me I didn't need it... LOL! Turns out they didn't have a bigger size so I just returned it and decided I'm over my gadget need for now.... although, a friend has the bodybugg that she is no longer using & I may get that from her to give it a go. That's free & I just have to pay for the online membership if I want to use it so we'll see:-)
