Is their a fitness heart rate monitor comfortable for sleep? Is it effective to wear it 24 hours a couple of times to see what you burn daily?

    Depends which kind of HRM. Ones like the Polar or Garmin models are only accurate when your heart rate is elevated. You would need something like the Body Media device or a FitBit to see total daily activity.
