sleep cardio bug

[Richard Servello]

Anyone else had this happen? The past couple nights I've had some crazy dreams, which resulted in an accelerated heart rate. When I wake up, there is a cardio entry in myfitnesspal for 300+ calories. Now, unless I'm jogging in my sleep, this is a bug. The big problem tho, is when I delete the entry, it comes back minutes later, slightly smaller. I have to keep deleting it until it stops showing up. Its happened the past 2 days in a row and is really annoying me since I'm strict about a specific calorie intake against calories burned.

I burn on average 400 calories a night with no crazy dreams

You do burn calories when you sleep and the amount varies. Take a look at this article, Calories Burned During Eight Hours of Sleep | LIVESTRONG.COM

I know, but the past 2 nights I've supposedly burned over 1000 calories in a 5-6 hour sleep cycle. Not likely. The issue isn't the supposed burn while sleeping...it's that its adding a cardio entry to myfitnesspal that doesn't belong and it takes forever to delete it.

I get those cardio entries too but much smaller. I am assuming they are adjusting my daily caloric budget based upon calories burned throughout the night.

Last night, calories burned: 698
MS health cardio entry: -146

That's my assumption too, but I don't like it. Sleeping isn't cardio...lol.

Last night , for instance, it says I burned 1229 while sleeping (seriously?) and had a 390 cal entry this morning. Come on!
