My fitness tracker recorded 'activity' while I was asleep
Woke up yesterday to my tracker saying I had taken 2,817 steps between 1:14 and 3:02 AM. I did not leave my bed. I did not leave my room. My wife confirms. The app shows a clean walking cadence — not a motion artifact, an ACTUAL walking pattern. Has anyone else had this happen. I'm asking seriously.

that's not a sensor error. a clean cadence requires a real rhythmic input. your tracker was receiving a signal from ELSEWHERE during that window.

Every fitness tracker is a miniature radio. If the ambient RF field at your location between 1 and 3 AM had the right structure, the accelerometer calibration could absolutely misinterpret it as motion. It's not the tracker's fault. It's the environment.

I had 1,400 phantom steps last Thursday. Same window — 1-3 AM. I'm in Portland. You?

@BrandtBreakthrough Spokane. So this hit at least two cities in the same window.

cross-reference with anyone whose smart watch showed elevated heart rate in sleep during that window. the motion signal and the heart-rate signal together = confirmed RF overlay.

Checked. My heart rate ran 74-82 during the phantom-walking window. Resting is 58. I was BEING ENTRAINED.
