Agree with what you are saying, but I noticed that if I have a better night time HRV and resting HR I am better prepared for the next morning activities (workouts) My theory is because the body had more time in the rested state to recover. With heavy meals or alcohol keeping HRV low and RHR high, the body is focusing on digestion and not repair. In effect, the repairs are only happening during the 2nd half of the night (when HRV is higher and RHR is lower) vs the whole night.
Hi Marco, I am sure this is covered somewhere but I have not seen it. Would it be appropriate to do a Garmin Health Snapshot upon waking and seated to accurately record your morning data? Also, can I walk to a chair prior to measurement or is it preferred to simply sit up in bed to record? Thanks! Your articles are really insightful and helpful.
Thanks so much for this. I finally started using the Garmin Health Snapshot function this morning but from now I'll do it sitting up.
I personally find resting HR isn't that useful for me because my resting HR really responds to time restricted feeding. If I stop eating at 2pm and go to bed at 8:30pm my overnight HR is 51bpm, if I eat at 4pm it's up to 56bpm. It makes sense - digestion demands blood flow but because I don't have the same eating pattern daily it makes trends more difficult to follow. Is there any data on time restricted feeding and HRV?
