# Sleep — 2026-08-12
**7h 57min** · 00:05→08:31 · REM: 5% · Deep: 29% · HRV: 112 · Resting HR: 48 · Score: 85/100
> Fourth consecutive sober night after the Aug 9 disaster (HRV 29ms) — no alcohol signal anywhere in the data. HRV at **112ms is still solidly in the excellent sober baseline zone** (110135ms), and resting HR at 48 bpm sits at the very bottom edge of his personal range — deep parasympathetic state. Rest day after the Aug 11 re-entry run, no run today.
>
> The three-night trend is the headline: **139 → 118 → 112ms.** Not alarming — 112 is a good number — but it's a gentle downward drift that lines up with a third consecutive ~midnight+ bedtime (00:24 → 00:07 → 00:05). The watch flagged it again: "you slept at 00:05, which is a little late," with the endocrine/nervous-system warning and the vitamin A/C + protein suggestion. The body is recovering well, but the timing keeps creeping late.
>
> The real anomaly is sleep architecture: **REM collapsed to 5% (24 min)** — the lowest in recent logs (previous sober nights: 11% on Aug 11, 11% on Jul 29, 11% on Jul 27) — while light sleep expanded to 66% (High, ref <55%). Deep sleep held at a normal 29%. REM that low on a clean, alcohol-free night is out of pattern. Most likely drivers: the late bedtime shifting the sleep window later (circadian misalignment hits REM first), possibly with some pre-sleep mental activation before bed. Not a red flag by itself — but worth a check-in: if the late bedtime pattern holds, REM stays the first casualty.
