Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) may provide feedback to post-partum women regarding need for recovery. We explored the associations between daily supine resting HRV and perceived stress and sleep quality using repeated measures correlation (rrm) between paired outcomes across two weeks. Repeated measures correlation between HRV and sleep quality, and between HRV and perceived stress were not significant. There was a significant correlation between sleep quality and stress across the two weeks, rrm(297) = −0.412, 95% CI (−0.502, −0.313), P < 0.0001. Additional studies in this population are warranted to determine feasibility of using HRV to indicate sleep quality and stress.
