Period — Preparatory

Overnight HRV — 54 (low)
Pillow Time — 10 hrs, 38 mins
Whoop Recovery Score — 34% (yellow)

Session Notes:
• Very poor overnight recovery due to celebrating wife’s birthday (consumed a couple of beers @ 5.5% ABV ).
• Late start to session due to daylight savings change over + wife’s AM birthday breakfast (SPE sessions are usually in an overnight fasted state, so had to allow a few hours for digestion of AM brunch before session start).
• Other than feeling cognitively tired, this session didn’t feel too stressful physically during it.
• My technique is getting more reactive every session.
• 100% nasal breathing for the entire session, without any sign of respiratory resistance.
• Took 30” - 90” active relief intervals (of walking + deep, slow breathing) as desired throughout session.

Post-Session Notes:
• No acute fatigue expressed during session — only slight (and transient) immediate fatigue residuals starting 90 minutes post-session and lasting several hours (until bedtime).
