Sleeping Heart Rate

11 Month 15 Day 2004 Year Sleeping Heart Rate 7 Hour 39 Minute AM I haven't slept with the heart rate monitor in a while. With my recent lack of workouts for the last month or so I thought I'd strap it on and see where I was at. My average heart rate was 45. I was surprised to find that this is about what it was in the middle of the season. On 7/17 it was 45. On 7/16 it was 47. On 7/15 it was 43. The average is affected by me getting up in the middle of the night to pee. And I can't start the monitor at the exact moment I fall asleep so it includes some time when I'm settling into sleep. But it's probably fairly indicative... of what I have no idea. My minimum heart rate was 36 last night. Just like other nights where I've worn the heart rate monitor I dipped to this low for a while and then popped back up. This was about the low I had on other nights... although on one night I dipped to something like 33. Overall I was pleasantly surprised that judging by my resting heart rate I haven't lost much fitness. This is only one measure though. I can feel a loss of fitness in my lungs. I've put on a couple pounds. And I'm sure my muscles will be lethargic. But a break from working out is probably a good thing.
