    The sleep withing was very interesting to me...who knew I woke up 12-14 times a night? No wonder I'm tired!

    Should do a sleep study... I never thought I woke up at night... but according to the sleep study, I was waking up roughly every 2 mins... about 30 "episodes" per hour. Not cool. I think I'm due to do a follow up study soon... I think I'm approaching about a year and a half on the CPAP now.

    Yes, definitely! I was diagnosed with "severe" sleep apnea and I remember waking up several times a night. Been on CPAP for about a year and a half as well and I only register a "wake up" on my FitBit once in a while... most nights I don't wake up at all. (It's going to be a huge victory for me if losing all this weight means I can ditch the CPAP, but until then, I love it and never sleep without it!)

    I am glad to see so many other FitBit lovers here! Like I said, I just got mine, and like many of the responders here, it has really helped me to see how sedentary I am in my desk job. It is motivating me to take more stairs and just get up and walk around some more to get more steps in. For those who might be concerned about how it tracks your other activities, I just take care to mark down the times that I am doing other things (such as using the rowing machine or the bike). You could do the same for driving too. Then, when you put those OTHER activities in your log and add the times, the fitbit will automatically cancel out any steps/calories that it had logged during that period. As far as distance... I have found it to be VERY accurate for me. I have a 1 mile loop that I take my dogs on, and that has worked out to be almost exactly 2,000 steps each time. But for those with longer or shorter strides, I would assume there are adjustments for that as well. Finally, the sleeping feature is amazing! It is actually pretty darn accurate as to WHEN I am woken up throughout the night.

    All in all, I am in love with it!

    I hope those of you who are using it will add me as a friend here and on the fitbit site, so we can encourage each other!!
