Just a quick question if you have a Body Media. Do you go by the 23 hour rule and at what time of the day do you take if off for the hour?

Thanks

    i have one, and i try to stick to the 23 hours a day deal. sometimes its only off for a half hour or so though, because i forget.
    i take it off in the morning when i shower, (typically 1/2 hour worth of showering and grooming) and then 30 minutes at night before i go to bed.

    I find it uncomfortable to sleep in (side sleeper) so I only wear it while I am awake :)

  • Does anyone know what the reason is that we're supposed to take it off for an hour? I take mine off when I shower and that's about it.

    THey say you are supposed to take it off for an hour to help prevent skin irritation. I switch it to my right arm when I sleep, and on my left during the day, and have never had a problem. I only leave mine off when I shower.
