What you need to know about Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data collected during the night

29/11/2020

 
As more devices are able to collect high-quality Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data during the night, a few questions come up:
  • What data should we use as HRV score? The average of the full night? Or maybe data collected during deep sleep or a specific deep sleep segment? What factors should we consider when making this call? (circadian rhythm, the accuracy of sleep stage detection..)
  • What are the differences between night and morning HRV measurements, and under which circumstances one might be preferable to the other?

In this post, I will try to answer these questions and show data that should clarify a few important aspects. In the process, we’ll have to debunk some common misconceptions.

Changes in resting physiology, sleep, training, and perceived stress during the first 6 months of the pandemic

15/11/2020

 
Last week I ran a survey on Twitter, which was triggered by seeing the data below: reduced resting heart rate during the first 6 months of the pandemic when analyzing HRV4Training data. The data shows a trend that is the opposite of what most of us would have expected.

In this post, I’ll go over the data in more detail, covering changes in resting physiology, sleep, training, and perceived stress in the first 6 months of the pandemic.
