So I've decided to try and do some experimentation on this HR thing and the first thing I"m going to try is to make a concerted effort to get more sleep. I'm already off to a bad start today since it's just before midnight, but I'll start tomorrow, I swear. Going to aim for at least 7 hours and maybe 8. Going to try for a week and see if the HR thing improves. Again, it's a bit random, so I have no idea if there's a one to one correlation, but I suppose that's what the experimentation is for.
As a footnote on the fitness trackers, most are able to keep track of how well you sleep and try and estimate how much deep sleep and REM sleep you get which would be helpful I suppose. I don't have a fitness tracker yet, but I found an app for my phone which does something similar. You turn it on and put it beside you as you sleep and it uses the accelerometer in the phone to detect movement and the phone tries to wake you up when you're in the lightest phase of sleep. It has a two week trial before you have to pay so I guess that should be enough time to get a feel for how well it works. It seems to have gotten pretty good reviews so I'm hoping for the best.
