so considering my illness, reilly, my coach and pbc coach, suggested that i start monitoring my resting heart rate. i really do not know exactly what my resting heart rate is, but got an average of 58bpm last night. that’s probably a bit high.
basically, i left my garmin in the charger, set it to indoor use, started the timer, and all it had to record was my heart rate and time as i slept the night away. during the night, i woke up and eventually took it off for comfort. i think 6.5 hours is probably enough data.
kind of interesting to do though. i’ve heard that your HR will spike in your sleep based on your mind and patterns in your sleep. the average includes these spikes. while i doubt that i have an extremely low resting heart rate based on what i know of my active heart rate, i would still guess that when healthy i’m in the 40s instead of 50s.
