The great HRV thread

[StokedAboutSpokes]

I've had a Whoop band for about three months now. I'm a fairly fit guy, cycling / mountain biking at least 4 days a week. I do also like the occasional binge drinking session with some buddies. I have noticed a pattern with this on my HRV. Saturday night binge, HRV plummets on Sunday morning reading - expected. But then Monday morning, my HRV is elevated more than normal and indicating I am well recovered even more then when I do not drink for several days in a row. Even though I still get slight brain fog on Monday?? (two day hang). 

Has anyone else experienced this? I would expect to have low HRV for 2 or 3 days consecutively after a big night.

whats your sleep quality like on sunday night vs other nights ?

other stresses on your body on sunday vs other days ?

 

I've found that after a good nights sleep my HRV is much higher the next morning.

Abnormal high reading means your body could be going into a deep recovery state. HRV should not be high or low, it should be as close to avg as possible.

After a night of drinking, I generally just relax the next day and then try get an early night. 8 to 10 hours in bed. 

But there is definitely a pattern, day two after binge drinking, there is a high recovery state. Day 3, everything goes back to average.

I have found even 2 glasses of wine/whiskey puts my stress levels through the roof(according to my garmin) according to my brain I am chilled, my stress pie graph goes orange from drink number 2 and only turns blue the next day after 12, it is a consistent as the sun rising and setting, my garmin does not like me drinking
