Smart watches
- Thread starter giles
- Start date
I didn't ask. I haven't had any in a couple of weeks anyways. I possibly had enough, we will see.
Glad you're getting some info Dave, no matter if it's good or bad. Wishing you the best on the journey, I'm glad you keep looking into things. You will rebound!
All because of a watch!
Thanks. I will get a hold on this. It is no longer about a diet, this will be a lifestyle change for me. Which isn't a bad thing considering how my eating and drinking lifestyle has been. I ain't saying I will be leaving functions to go to the gym, but a change isn't a bad thing. Lol
What’d you do the days above 75% vs the days below 75%? What’d you eat, drink or anything more or less stress related?
Dave, keep grinding, but I see the body battery as a measure of how resilient it is. Just like a normal battery, not good to run it down to 0 if you can help it. By charging it and working it, you condition it to keep the charge longer. Do you feel like shit on those days? Does that 4wk. data look better than the last 4wks, or the same 4wks this time last year?
I feel like shit most days. But I push myself every day until I feel that feeling of no more. Put in 3.7 miles this morning without any caffeine. Going up and down hills without my chest burning.
So I just went back and looked at all the history going back to the end of July (that's when I got the watch). Looks like I really suck at charging. Lots of low numbers. Even the times of not drinking are very low numbers. Has me wondering if maybe I need to be on oxygen still when I sleep. I will bring this up to my doctor and see if I can get a sleep study scheduled.
I think you're on to something there, hopefully it's something small to tweak to get that recharge working. Do you have your personal settings correct (weight, age, etc.)?

Not that I know anything, never the less, here are some suggestions that helped me:
1. Stay off all artificial light, like phone and computer screens, television and LED lighting for a couple hours before bed. The blue light ruins sleep.
2. Melatonin tablet before bed time.
3. Sleep study is good. Glad you mentioned it. C-Pap machine did wonders for our son!
4. A half hour of reading by incandescent light at bedtime also promotes better sleep. I read a few chapters of scripture from the New Testament. You don't want mind racing content.
5. Some folks swear by body grounding, which is basically bare feet touching the dirt for a few minutes each evening.
6. At the base of your palm below the pinky finger side is a bump of a bone at the wrist across from the base of the thumb near where you take your pulse.
Just in from that pinky base bump is a soft area. Apply pressure there on each wrist for about 30 seconds. It's an accu pressure point that somehow promotes sleep. When I need to drift off, I do this then just relax my body and still my mind. The next thing I know it's hours later.
7. Lavender and Chamomile spray on pillow.
8. Take your watch off at night. It doesn't help. My body battery always reads higher in the morning when I don't wear it. You are probably like most men and work with your hands when you sleep. Add to that a side sleeper turns and thus moves more at night. Then add a couple trips to the bathroom and the watch says you had a bad night's sleep. Lose the nag at night and stress less!
9. These watches are nice, but not necessarily accurate. Mine miss counts stairs as well as heavier exercise too low in both instances. My stress level averages about 25. Yet I will have times of high stress and when I look back at what I was doing it never was a stressful time for me! So don't stress over it!
10. If you are diabetic, then your body has lot's of inflammation. Long Covid is inflammation related also. Research things to avoid and things to utilize to remove inflammation from your system. Start with fermented foods like Kifer and raw sauerkraut to heal your gut! A course of Ivermectin would also do you wonders. Most Doctors won't help you here as they aren't nutritionists and treat SYMPTOMS rather than the real problem. PM me if you need a Doc who actually still practices medicine as opposed to being an employee of a corporation promoting dot Gov/Pharma/healthcare protocols!
You can ask me how I know this stuff?!? Or just understand that I've walked this way in the past...
Now, this sickly 65+ year old stage 4 cancer patient 33 days into zero testosterone therapy and in the process of 28 radiation treatments is going out to enjoy the day by amazing his buddy's on the golf course playing 18 holes with them! I am in zero pain, had a good night's sleep stress number currently 17 with nearly zero side effects from the protocol. You too can do this!
Type 2 diabetes can be eliminated along with long covid if you are motivated! Heck I wouldn't know I was sick if they didn't keep telling me I am...

Look at my numbers and know I didn't wear that stress wagon to bed either! My numbers 2 years ago would be identical to yours today...
I love you brother/son and there ain't a durn thing you can do about it either!

You'll figure it out soon Dave, just keep lifting rocks till it shows itself.
For me, alcohol and consistency have been key (10pm-5/6am). My deep sleep amount has increased quite a bit over the last month since focusing on better habits. Without the watch, I wouldn't have known. I don't enjoy wearing the watch when I sleep but the data it provides far outweighs some discomfort. Yes, the data can be skewed, there are times where how I lay it doesn't register a reading.
Also interesting, I have found that Busch Light has the least, almost 0 impact, on my sleep lately. I can have 3-4 right up to bed and I sleep like a champ still. Weird, will see if it continues or just a fluke lol.
