Close to a Hammock

This week I have been focused on being active most of the day, not eating late, and going to bed at the appointed time. The “ideal" hammock pattern has still eluded me. One night I had the dreaded straight line pattern. However, last night I got close and I felt good this morning - a good way to start the new week.

 

 

My heart rate was stable after 2 am. The minimum point was later than is “ideal," but at least it wasn’t immediately before I woke up. My heart rate rose steadily before I got up, something that has not been commonplace. I think that was due to the fact that I slept an hour later than usual. I suspect that it would be great for me to be able to sleep until 9 am everyday, but it is not practical.

 

I got 1 hr 31 min of REM sleep and 1 hr 36 min of deep sleep. When I have that kind of balance, I always feel better. I have been feeling better in the mornings, so it may be that the “ideal” sleep pattern is not actually ideal for me. I am not sure that I have enough data yet to really know what is ideal for me.
