Fitbit user question

I love my fitbit, and find it extremely motivating, but I find the need to recharge it so often frustrating. I like wearing it 24/7 so it tracks my sleep, and I can't figure out the best way to schedule the recharges, so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone has it figured out effectively and efficiently.

thanks for your input!

    I usually charge it while I'm showering after a workout. I also went through my settings and disabled a lot of things that eat the battery.

    I charge it at a time I know my levels will be low - in the evening when really all I'm doing is walking around house or sitting relaxing.

    I have a 30 minute drive to work and/or spend a lot of time in my van taking kids places. I charge in the minivan.

    Not sure what model you have, but I had a Charge HR the needed charging literally every other day. It was one of a few reasons why I didn't like that model.

    I have a One and charge it once a week-10 days.

    My Alta will go a few days between charges - I usually charge it while in the bath, or at work if on the computer for a while (I bought a spare charger to leave at work for this).

    Blaze here and need to charge about two times a week. I usually don't wait until it is near bottom to charge. I will usually pop it in the charger after my morning run if its at about half charge and let it charge during breakfast and while I shower. I figure that I don't get many steps during that time.
