Showing posts with the label low energy day

May 24, 2025 – Wellness Check-In Final Entry: 11:54 PM

 Today felt like a day where my numbers were steady on the outside, but I was dragging under the surface. My body kept showing up for me, but I could tell it was stretched thin. Stress ended the day at 72%,  and I wasn’t surprised—I felt tense and overstimulated even though I wasn’t consciously anxious.  My energy never climbed past 32%,  and honestly, I felt that in my bones. The only thing holding strong all day was  my health score, which stayed at 100% —a testament to the systems I’ve been building even while feeling worn out. Last night I got  just under 6 hours of sleep (5h 47m) , starting after 3 AM. Even though I had decent  REM (1h 36m)  and  deep sleep (1h 29m),  I didn’t get enough total rest. That showed up in my  HRV metrics—Apple Watch logged 55 , and  Welltory showed an HRV score of just 11%.  My  autonomic nervous system stayed in sympathetic dominance all day , with very little parasympathetic activit...

5-14-25 Stable Glucose, Shaky System: My Body’s Plot Twist Today

 Last night I got decent sleep—over 6 hours—with a boost in deep and REM sleep that pushed my SleepWatch score to 448. While that was encouraging, I still woke up running on low battery. My morning HRV was just  34% , with  energy at 16% , and a  medium stress load (66%) . My  health resilience was maxed at 100% , but I could feel the disconnect between my body’s strength and my brain’s sluggishness. My glucose started off well at  105 mg/dL , holding steady for most of the day—until around 5:15 PM when I dropped to  62 mg/dL , triggering a hypoglycemia alert. I corrected it quickly, but it was a sharp dip and definitely contributed to the shakiness and low energy I’d been sensing. By  evening , my HRV cratered to just  5% , and my nervous system flipped into full  sympathetic dominance (53 SNS vs. 10 PSNS) . Stress hit  86% , and energy crept up only slightly to  21% . Focus dipped throughout the day as well, ending at a modes...
