Eight nights of data
The sleep health panel combines HRV, resting heart rate, sleep stages, and personal baselines into a recovery score for each night. Looking across eight nights shows whether a low score is isolated or continues.
The prompt
According to my Google Health data, give me a recovery readout for my recent sleep. Use the recovery score and per-night flags, and tell me which nights I should pay attention to and why.

Pulling your recovery panel for the last eight nights.
Executing my_google_health.get_sleep_health_panel Here’s how the last eight nights shake out. The week opens strong at 94 on the 22nd, then drops into a clear two-night autonomic dip. The 24th is the trough at 10: HRV fell to 14.7 (-2.3σ) and resting HR rose to 75 (+2.9σ), which trips a cardiovascular-strain warning. The 25th and 26th stay suppressed in the 40s with resting HR still elevated. Then the rebound is clean. The 27th snaps back to 94 with the best deep sleep of the stretch (22%) and HRV up at 25.6, and the 28th and 29th settle in the low 70s.
The night to watch is the 24th. That combination of HRV down and resting HR up is the body under real strain, whether from training, a short night, alcohol, or the onset of something. The reassuring part is the shape around it: one hard night followed by a quick recovery rather than a multi-day slide. If that pattern ever stacks up for three or more nights in a row, that’s the signal to actually ease off.
The rebound
The score of 10 follows HRV falling 2.3 standard deviations below baseline and resting heart rate rising 2.9 standard deviations above it. Both recovered the next night, so the run looks like a short disruption rather than continued decline. The response leaves the possible causes conditional and sets a threshold for changing course: three low nights in a row.
