[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77590633, member: 330042"] I slept terribly last night. The first third of the night was good recovery, the last two thirds had no recovery. I woke up with a Body Battery of about 35. That's more or less how I felt, too. I got 5 1/2 hours of sleep but most of it was unproductive. My heart rate was also elevated during the second half of the night. I remember having some vivid dreams, too. I went for a slow walk today for about ten minutes in the morning and I used an air walker for another ten. I have an app on my tablet that lets me use my Scosche Rythm+ armband to do heart coherence training (the Rythm+ doesn't output the correct format to work with an app like EliteHRV, however- few armband sensors or smart watches do), and that helped me to lower my stress levels today, and around noon I've started to be more in a recovery mode and my Body Battery has started going up again. I have found the best way during the day to recharge Body Battery is just laying in bed, closing my eyes, and focusing on my breath. If I do that for ten or twenty minutes, the stress levels drop very low and the Body Battery starts to go back up again. This is about as effective as sleeping, apparrently, in terms of what it does. I use the yoga app on my watch as it has a stress datafield that I can monitor, so I can just flip up my watch once in a while and look at it. At the end of the activity, it also reports the amount of stress that has lowered since the beginning of the session (which is very useful to know). I don't think exercising in the late afternoon is a good idea, it seems to be about as bad as being too active at night. I probably need to stop, even though it's a good activity that gets us out of the house, it's probably taking away from recovery. [/QUOTE]
