What's your average heart rate while sleeping?

| I never measured before this year, but I started because after having Covid in November my resting HR was very high. Not sure if it's fully back to normal, but my HR was 59 overnight. I'm 57 years old and I exercise every day. |

| I don’t think the normal average person keeps track of their heart rate when sleeping… |

I take my watch off at night. It's annoying to sleep with it. Daytime RHR is around 60.

| Yours sounds about right. I hover between 60-65. I use the peloton regularly. 37/f |

| 45-50. Really low. But my cardiologist sibling says it is fine. |

+1. Unless you think something is wrong with you, this is only going to lead to anxiety. |

I posted mine above. A lot of watches that ppl wear (Apple Watch, for example) automatically do it. I don’t typically check it but I did to answer this question. |

Yes I could google this, but what's a "good" RHR? And does it get lower when sleeping? |

| I do a couple hours of exercise a day so I’m in pretty good shape. My resting heart rate was 57 at the doctors office and my Apple Watch says my lowest heart rate over the last week was 49. I don’t wear my Apple Watch to bed so I don’t know what it is at night. |

| My resting heart rate overnight (according to my watch) is usually about 60-62 with dips into the 40s. I am overweight and out of shape. It is much higher during the day. |

DP. The people for whom it would lead to anxiety shouldn't do it. But plenty of people like to pay attention to their biomarkers. For me, it helps to see the impact that stress, alcohol, and other things have. I have an oura ring that I wear that tracks heart rate, heart rate variability, oxygen saturation, and sleep architecture. Doesn't bother me -- physically or mentally. |

Personally, I do wear mine to bed. I think its a good idea to start getting baseline measurements as you age. It helps me identify triggers - stress, lack of sleep, too much alcohol, too much sodium etc. I don't find it anxiety producing at all - I can tell when things are off and it helps to provide additional data to help me adjust things. |

| I track it because it’s on my Apple Watch. Anywhere between 40-50 when sleeping. 45F. |
