So...

pre and post all right i'm gonna see if my um if nature makes a difference and i'm gonna like go out spend an hour and then see what my hrv my heart rate variability goes up that's a good thing yeah does my resting heart rate come down that's a good thing does my sleep sleep quality score improve what are the most important metrics for men you're tracking and then for women for health uh tracking health

Yeah.

I mean, there's some similarities when we talk about the differences too, but REM, so, you know, dream sleep, ideally 25% of your sleep or over an hour, ideally 90 minutes.

She's a higher achiever.

She'll tell you larger numbers.

Deep sleep also, 90 minutes, real important.

Yeah.

Two hours.

And then your HRV, your heart rate variability, which is basically the beat to beat variation in your heartbeat.

And frankly, the more variable it is, the better, which seems like, well, that doesn't make sense.

It's sort of like driving a car and you hit the gas, then the brake, then the gas, then the brake.

So you hate to drive behind those people, but actually that's a good thing.

That means your sympathetic drive that's making you run super fast is being modulated, sort of checked with your parasympathetic, the part that slows things down and takes in the bigger view.

Got it.

And that HRV, heart rate variability one, increased.

And then we look at morning cortisol levels.

Oh, you can.

Is that a blood test or how does that?

A blood test.
