Problems with Fitbit Flex

I use to sleep with my fitbit on, but I toss and turn so much during my sleep that I'd wake up with over 2000 steps counted. Last night I placed my fitbit on the stand that holds my fan and when I woke up I had accumulated over 9000 steps! I'm very frustrated because it seems to be picking up even the slightest movements and it causes me to wonder how accurate it really is.

    There's a setting for sleep sensitivity...maybe try setting it to normal instead of sensitive and see if that helps? I have a Flex too and I sleep with mine on (normal sleep setting), but it doesn't count any steps while I'm in bed, and I toss and turn a lot!

    Thank you, I will do that and see how it goes tonight!
