Sounds like you don’t sleep well either. If I get 4 hours it’s a good night.I woke up around 1 AM. Sore, and feeling too warm, just barely starting to perspire. Body Battery is 62, which is only fair. According to Garmin, it may take a few days for the score to reflect the actual energy state of your body. It also collects data on your VO2Max and uses that, and the VO2Max score evolves over time.
More advanced Garmin watches support a training load metric that is more precise in giving estimates for recovery. So do all the Polar watches. Some even try to quantify estimated muscle strain. I suspect the basic watches are all using TRIMP (for TRaining IMPulse), which is a formula used to measure cardiovascular load based off multiplying your heart rate by the duration of an activity, but they don't perform as complex calculations to support recovery estimates (all the widgets make calls to an API specifically tailored around physical fitness and activities, that has various extensions for different models with different capabilities).
My watch does have a few training plans for running and cycling that looks at your data and tries to formulate a plan, but I don't see one for other activities like walking. I might have to check out a forum, or perhaps even consult with a doctor, personal trainer or physical therapist.
I made a cup of American ginseng, which is something I've sometimes found beneficial when I am dealing with being fatigued. Hopefully I get in a nap before church. My experience with this kind of poor sleep, with a night cut short, is due to either too little or too much exercise. Occasionally it's due to random noises in the night (I'm a lighter sleeper, I've known that for a while), or a combination of the two. If my nervous system gets switched over to too much sympathetic activity, poor sleep seems to be the result. I also suspect there is elevated cortisol happening, which is why I think the ginseng could be helpful. It seems to be better for me to exercise earlier in the day, and to be actually somewhat lazy the rest of the day, especially 3 hours or so before bedtime (not just avoiding exercise at night, which is something I've heard about for a long time).
Sometimes Florida can be tough because I have found I actually sometimes sleep best with a room that's about 72 degrees, if the air isn't directly blowing on me. But in Florida, not only is that expensive, sometimes it's impossible to get a room that cooled. This past summer was brutal. One day the air conditioner was going full blast and the temperature didn't fall below 78 in the daytime (the unit is relatively new, too). We live in an older duplex unit, though, built around the late 60's, so that might be a factor.

I get off work at 12 today and will be off Thursday, Friday and Saturday so my workouts start today.
I have been taking NMN and so far it’s been remarkable. No pain in my knee and no nerve pain.
If this lasts I will be recommending this supplement. I take it 3 times a day
NMN
NMN Cyclosome® – The Most Effective and Bioavailable NMN Product on the Market! Hi-Tech has added another cutting-edge supplement to its Healthcare category. NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is naturally found in fruits and vegetables such as avocados, broccoli, cabbage, edamame, and cucumbers...hitechpharma.com
Someone told me they were taking it and their shoulder pain had went away so I decided to try it.NMN is part of Bryan Johnson's longevity protocol. NMN is basically a form of niacin.
I ordered some NMN to try as well. I probably will only be taking 300mg though, at least to start out.
I've been taking TMG off and on (trimethylglycine) and I've found it beneficial (more energy, less fatigue). Dr. David Sinclair has used it alongside NMN in his clinical studies.
This is a sort-of mini documentary about Bryan Johnson's Blueprint plan. Apparrently, his protocol has some evidence behind it.
You seem to be hooked up to a lot of things. My wife thinks I'm weird for just wearing a heart rate monitor.I took a nap in the afternoon and just crashed. I awoke at night and my Body Battery had reached 85, the sleep was all very low solid blue, high HRV and low heart rate. Heart rate was 52 at rest. I stayed in bed for a half hour, and my Body Battery continued to rise. HRV was unusually high, indicating not alot of sympathetic nervous system activity. I think this is similar to "parasympathetic over-recovery" I have heard about. Also, my muscles feel tired and warm all over (it's only 75 in the house). I'm also feeling alot of "pump", sort of like I'd get in a gym, especially in my biceps, triceps, hamstrings and forearms, but I didn't think I pushed myself all that hard at the gym (everything was low intensity, and I got in only about an hour of exercise). Everything else seems to be normal, no kidney pain, nausea, or dark urine (I thought about maybe it would be a mild case of rhabdo, but the symptoms don't seem to be that severe). Just alot of fatigue, but mentally I'l calm and alert.
I think I'm going to make some Gatorade and try to get back to sleep.
