Sleeping with Band

[B1llyMadison]

Does anyone else's Band readjust while tossing and turning at night? I find this really annoying and uncomfortable.

I know I can't be the only one.. Anyone else have similar experiences?

No not really and I toss and turn all night very light sleeper

A couple sleep observations...first, I'm wondering how long you've owned yours? It took me several weeks before I felt comfortable sleeping with it. Daily wear took about a week, sleeping a lot longer (I'm a light sleeper too). Second, I still notice that every few weeks, I'll suddenly grow really sensitive to the Band for a night or two while sleeping. Seems to correlate very closely with how tight I've worn it over the last day or so -- the tighter I wear it, the more I notice it at night.

I suppose the goal is to find the sweet spot between tight and loose, so it isn't dangling like a chandelier at night, or causing your hand to turn blue. :smile:

I've been using mine for sleep every night since the beginning of January, and this has never happened to me. Do you wear it so tight that maybe your skin hits the action button to wake it up? I know sometimes when it's too tight and I bend my wrist my skin almost pinches against the Band and I get worried that I might hit a button by accident. Other than that I have no idea...

I started to wear my bangs on my dominate hand, but was having issues adjusting... Switched to my of hand, where I normally wear my watch, and don't really notice it anymore as out isn't as heavy as my watch....

Anyhow, it did take a coupled of days to get used to wearing it to sleep (watch would normally be off) and I was worried about it coming off, but it hasn't been an issue. Been wearing it for a couple of weeks now.

It almost sounds like you have it to loose if it's adjusting at night.

I wonder if we're reading "adjusting" in different ways...I thought the OP meant "it rolls around on my wrist" but I guess everyone else sees "buttons and settings are getting changed."

I do a fair amount of tossing and turning, but I wear mine tight enough that it doesn't move.

Oh, at first glance I thought this was under the music section.

LOL Reminds me of a thread I posted a while back:

I've had my Band for about 2 weeks now. I've been sleeping with it on every night, even though it's sometimes uncomfortable.

I agree with you, probably the tighter I wear it, the more I notice it while I sleep.

But, it's odd that while I'm tossing and turning, if the Band is too loose, it'll tighten up, or if it's too tight, it'll loosen.

Ahhhhh....that's what you meant by readjusting. That is weird.

I've experienced where what did feel "right" at one time may not feel quite right at another. Either I made it too tight and it starts to bother me, or later I decide that I can pull it in a notch. But that's not a sleep thing.

Some people have reported problems with their clasp, that one button doesn't have the spring action on it. Any possibility your clasp isn't working quite right? Otherwise, all I can suggest is covering the Band with a wrist sweat band at night.

I haven't noticed this, I'm 2 weeks into having the band. I find the rubber a bit annoying as sticks a bit to the sheeting though. Worried about that wearing off the rubber.

Are you wearing the Band with the screen on the inside of the arm? The Band is more comfortable with a flat surface and the inside of the arm is flatter than the outside.
