Fall detection is only triggered if it detects a sudden and hard fall / impact, such as a trip. The feature isn't disabled during sleep mode but it's also highly unlikely it will trigger, but may be beneficial if you did fall in the night or down steps.

I've had the 5 Pro since day, had a few seizures whilst sleeping and it hasn't kicked into fall detection so far. But it did when I had one out on the street. So I'm very happy with its ability to differentiate currently. My only concern is the longer term ability as its approaching 12 months old now. I've not seen any data on the reliability of the sensors over the longer term.

@JB9500: If you're worried about sudden movements triggering the Fall Detection feature while you sleep, then you may wish to disable the 'High sensitivity' option (SOS > Detect Falls > High sensitivity).

Now I know it will occur in sleep unless I fall off the bed I'm fine of keeping it on as it is highly beneficial I just wanted to see how it worked and if it ever disabled itself in sleep
