- Define heart rate variability
- Discuss what increased or decreased heart rate variability means
- List the medical conditions often associated/predicted by changes in HRV
- Characterize how HRV is utilized in sleep medicine
- Contrast how different stages of sleep are reflected in HRV changes and how this is utilized in wearable technology
- Touch upon the factors that positively and negatively influence HRV
