Then when the alarm went off I would check what my heart rate was for that hour or so. It was in the low-mid 50s, whereas my "resting heart rate" during the day is in the 60s.
I'd really like to try that but I'm afraid the strap will be so uncomfortable I won't fall asleep. Like I said, I'm a total data geek.
