I wore my HR monitor for my 1 hour afternoon nap today. Conditions of testing were: 1 cup of coffee before my nap and noise from the kids playing computer games in the study. Once I settled into deep rest, my HR settled in at around 50 - 51 BPM but twice it dropped to 49 and once as low as 48! Conclusion? I'll leave my resting HR at 51 for my HR zone calculations.

    According to HR charts, this puts me in the excellent category. And this was after a coffee (which supposedly raises your HR).

    Wow, great idea! I always take it just after i've woken up but while i'm still horizontal in bed. But i'm never sure how accurate it is (have to turn over and twist a bit to get in to the right position, and does waking up itself bump up the HR a little?).

    Darren, I think that waking up and being alert enough to put on the HR monitor would put your HR up. If nothing else, it is a great excuse for a nana nap!
