# Sleep — 2026-09-04
**5h 45min** · 02:11→07:57 · REM: 15% · Deep: 30% · HRV: **111** · Resting HR: 52 · Woke: 1× · Score: 80/100
> "Got home just around midnight so I can get some sleep for my morning run, but I could not get myself to sleep, so I slept less. Eventually I fell asleep. In the morning I let myself sleep in." Sober night, home ~00:00 — but sleep onset dragged until 02:11 (watch bed time). The sleep-in to 07:57 was real, yet the wake-up still came too early to recover the lost hours: 5h 45min total, below the 6h reference.
**Interpretation:** A short-night story where the only debt is **duration** — the architecture of the sleep he did get was healthy: deep 30% (1h 42min) and REM 15% (52min) both normal, woke only once, continuity 80. Score 80, "good," with the watch's verdict landing on sleep deprivation (5h45 < 6h). **HRV 111ms sits exactly in his sober-late-bedtime band** (Aug 29: bed 02:14 → 106ms; tonight: bed 02:11 → 111ms) — the clean no-alcohol signal, and a clear demonstration that the bedtime lever is the story: the 145ms all-time high (Sep 2) came with a 23:50 bedtime, while ~02:00 bedtimes land ~106-111ms regardless of sobriety. Resting HR 52 (vs 48 on the record night) is the short-sleep tax, mild. The one irregularity worth naming: **sleep-onset difficulty despite being home by midnight** — excitement-driven racing thoughts per the established pattern, not alcohol.
**Prediction for the day:** this is the night before the Friday 3 km easy (Sep 4, 48h before the Sunday 6 km long run). Expect the short sleep to show as elevated effort if the run lands in the midday heat — keep it easy, slow first km, walking allowed. Tonight's priority is protecting a normal bedtime; the pre-midnight lever (23:50 → 145ms on Sep 2) is the proven fix.

### HRV progression
| Date | HRV | Context |
|------|-----|---------|
| Aug 29 | 106ms | Sick week, late bedtime (02:14) |
| Sep 2 | **145ms** 🚀 | Sober, bed before midnight (23:50) — all-time high |
| **Sep 4** | **111ms** | Sober, home ~00:00 but sleep onset 02:11, 5h45 |
**Check vs the day:** the prediction landed — the evening run (Sep 4) showed the short-sleep cost as 7'15" at 159 bpm (vs 6'29" at 148 two days earlier on 7h30), with 25 min in the anaerobic zone. See [[Runs/2026-09-04]].
