Wrist Sleep Monitors

I would think that this would be a question for FitBit, including "why sensitive?".

Yes. I experienced that. Started with 7-8 hours of sleep a night. Then started showing lots of activity and only 4-5 hours of rest a night. Read the "help" section and discovered that my tweaking had changed the display. Short story, "normal" shows how still you were during the night while "sensitive" shows how much your arm moved during the night.

I like the looks of "normal" better.

But the fit does have other uses.

When you take a sleep study and see how wired up you have to be, you suddenly get an idea how much data is needed to actually diagnose sleep problems. Even then the sleep doctor often has to do quite a bit of interpretation to get any accurate results. This simple fact makes me leery of wrist type and/or motion based sleep monitors.

I noticed the Resmed S+ is coming down.
One place has it for 99 bucks. Online.
