As you’ve mentioned the oura (I’m a fellow wearer) i’m curious what you think about some of the metrics beyond average resting heart rate and heart rate variability. For instance, do you think it matters where in the evening your lowest heart rate occurs? On their website they say that a good night sleep involves the heart rate hitting its lowest point in the first half of the night, somewhere around the midpoint, but mine often occurs in the second half of the night. I do have mild UARS and am looking into interventions for it (namely: forcing myself to side sleep) but was curious if you look at any oura metrics beyond HR/HRV.

Thanks Marco. I already discount my calculated HRV score in favour of my rmssd score.

thanks Robyn! Just to clarify, in our app there is no readiness or recovery score, so what you see that we call HRV, is just a transformation of rMSSD (it carries the same information). But of course totally fine to look at the actual rMSSD, you can do that even in the homepage of the app with Pro: https://marcoaltini.substack.com/i/140250699/pro-enabling-rmssd-for-the-homepage (you can try Pro by logging in here: https://hrv4training.web.app/). Thank you again and all the best!
