Fitbit/Smart fit band

[madmetoyou]

Hi All

It's been a while since I was last on I'm hoping you are all feeling as well as possible 😊

Has anyone here have or thinking of getting a Fitbit or Smart Fit Band?

I have got a Fitbit ( Argos £60 but you can get cheaper ones called Smart fit band of eBay as they seem to do the same job)

I got mine on Saturday 16 July a present from my hubby for our anniversary and I love it... I can monitor how many steps I take each day plus how much fluid I must take (which was something I didn't think about) and how much sleep I'm getting which has surprised my hubby and I

1st night I had a really good night sleep

2nd night I had a a little of a restless sleep

3rd night I had a really bad restless plus waking up and that's why I feel like I have had no sleep 🙁

And the best thing is that you set out your own goals to suit your own body you can set alarms for meds

This is a picture of my sleep pattern last night dark blue is a sleep light blue is restless and pink is awake

Hello, I have a non brand one but have only looked at the steps. I should investigate it more; had been too fatigued but I maybe can now. It looks interesting e.g. the sleep.

That's impressive shows how disjointed our nights are. Hope it helps you.x

Yes sleep is great with fibromyalgia neesey1005...So we know when we wake up feeling like you haven't slept for a week 😴

Mysmugcat...My husband work mate has a non brand one and his does the steps sleep etc that's why my husband bought me one 😃

This looks a good bit of kit, very clever how it shows sleep patterns, could be useful to show doctors !!

[madmetoyou]

Yes shazzzy I will be showing my doctor on Friday and when I go see my rheumatologist at the end of August 😊

I have a fitbit and was shocked to see how little I slept at night. My average is 3 hours a night with constant awakenings. I cant seem to sleep more than 30 minutes at a time. I will be taking the data to my gp as she has never believed me about my sleep and refuses to give me any sleeping pills. I love my fitbit too, its very useful.

Hi clifetta

Yes learning so much with the data my husband and I were amazed how many steps I do in a day he set the target as 1000 steps and on the 1st afternoon just potting around the house I did 3500 we were so surprised

I have got my doctors tomorrow and I will be showing her my terrible sleeping pattern plus I keep waking up my poor hubby early hours in the morning 😴
