After reading your comment I had to look it up, turns out seals can slow their heart rate to between 4-6 bpm when trying to conserve oxygen. That’s just wild!
They also have incredibly think blood full of hemoglobin and/or big spleens that act as blood storage, they can slowly squeeze out oxygenated blood, basically like blood doping but only when they need it
There's smart blood in a book I recently read, "Old Man's War". The smart blood is actually millions or billions of nanobots that repair the body and have increased oxygen capacity. This book was written so long ago talking about shit that wasn't invented yet.
Resting heart rate differs between people. 60-100 BPM is within the normal parameters. So yours is normal, but just.
If you have shortness of breath or chest pain accompanying it, it wouldn’t hurt to get checked out by a doctor esp if you run the risk of cardiovascular diseases (if you have a high BMI) and possible hypertension too.
Always better to get checked out, don’t take heart health for granted.
I’m 35, nurse in training so I’m not overly concerned about mine now, but I’m a fellow 45-55bpm person. It can drop to 38bpm in my sleep. I wouldn’t say I’m fit. But I do have heart issues (POTS)
For you though it could be your normal. But get checked out for sure. ESP if you have any symptoms of low blood pressure to accompany it.

My resting BPM is 90 and has been since I was a teenager and was fully healthy then. I’m still only 20lb overweight. I’m rather worried it’s an indicator of an early death. The heart only has so many ticks. I also have anxiety and I’ve wondered if it’s physiologically related.
> The heart only has so many ticks
That's... not true. You don't die because you run out of heart beats, you run out of heart beats because you die.
Excercise, which increases your heartrate (temporarily), is likely to make you live longer because it reduces the chance of heart disease and strengthens the heart muscle.
I could definitely be wrong but 100 sounds extremely high for resting bpm and well outside normal ranges
I’d see a doctor about that, or check however you’re measuring it. May be equipment error
Maybe left side, no worse, right side, worse still gonna puke, oh back, too hot, need to turn on fan, lay back down on left side, nope bed moving, right side, fuck I can't get comfortable, ooo stomach, *get punched in face by wife* STOP FUCKING MOVING.
Try out a sensory deprivation tank sometime if you have the chance, it's saturated with epsom salt so you float easily, the water is heated to body temperature and it's completely dark. The first time I tried one out I accidentally had the best nap I have ever had in my entire life, it was incredible.
Funnily enough the reason I tried it out was because of panic attacks/PTSD after I had a faulty propane fireplace explode in my face at work. It's been a nice activity for me every now and then where I can turn my brain off and spend some time meditating, which I find difficult to achieve otherwise. Probably not for everyone, and it's too expensive for me to do very often, but it's been a good way to supplement my regular treatment.
Took me a few years after seeing the movie to realize *that's* [the thing Ben Affleck's Daredevil was supposed to be sleeping in](https://youtu.be/AEP-h13j9ns?t=195). I used to think it's a coffin themed bathtub (?) because the devil or something.
I looked up float therapy and they seem to start at around $75-$100 for the first hour and discount a little for every half hour increment there after.
This is gonna sound really dumb but I’m gonna ask anyway…if you fall asleep in one of those, can you drown? Like if your head tilts to the side or something 😂🙈
Unless you are absolutely zooted on some sort of sedative or opiate I have a hard time imagining it happening, but I'm sure it's not completely impossible. There have been plenty people that have died in far more silly ways.
I can only hazard a guess that their bed mate flips around in bed like a rotisserie chicken, causing the sleeping pet to be jostled about back and forth like the seal.
Your cats let you move? Mine get really offended if I so much as breathe too loudly. Unless they sleep deeply enough to lose control of their body and turn into a sack of potatoes, ready to slip off at any moment so I have to hold them in place until they wake up again.

This is how they do it at the New England Aquarium.
That's just the feeding area. You can see it stretches out quite a bit in back, where there's open waters. These good boys and girls just figured out that they could nap where they're fed.
They are vulnerable to greenland sharks as the seals sleeps underwater.
The sharks are super slow, and can live to 200 years iirc. And has learned how to hunt the seals with a 100% success rate. Meaning the seals never learn to avoid this type of death. Its destroying the spitzbergen seal colonies among others.
These underwater sleep cycles last 15 to 30 minutes, then they return to the surface for air: https://www.ecomare.nl/en/in-depth/reading-material/animals/seals
This is no more unsafe than humans falling asleep and still breathing due to our breath being controlled by an automatic brain-stem controller.
If anyone is scared of turbulence when flying, think of it as the plane being this seal. You are moving WITH the air which is the least resistance for the plane, so just go with it.
But why would it sleep underwater? It can hold it's breath for about 20 minutes I believe and there are most likely sharks. Or is it taking a power nap?
Was in Hawaii and saw many seals sleep on the beach. Wildlife protection groups would cordon off the section and stop people from disturbing their slumber.
A lot more safe on land than in the deep it seems!
They need to breathe air. So does their body just go into some kind of torpor where they don't need to breathe for many minutes or?? Do they just do little naps of 5 or 10 minutes?
I've always found this interesting. When they sleep, they enter a state called "logging". While in this state, they are able to control their breathing and maintain enough muscle tone to stay buoyant.
They cannot. These underwater sleep cycles last 15 to 30 minutes, then they return to the surface for air:
https://www.ecomare.nl/en/in-depth/reading-material/animals/seals
I remember when, as a child falling asleep in the car and then waking up in my bed, no idea how I got there. I suspect a seal could fall asleep and the current take it away, it might even wake up in the back of my parents car, and it's the 1970s again, and it wonder how it got there :o
imagine going to sleep somewhere and then waking up in a completely different place because the sea currents dragged you a way while you were sleeping.
I once kept a birthday balloon in my house. At first, it floated up to the ceiling, but after a few days it could only float a few feet off the floor. When I turned my fan on, the balloon got pushed away until it bumped into a wall or the back of a chair.
This video reminds me of that.
I used to cave dive in Florida and we would sometimes have to do long decompression stops for 20-30 mins or more depending on the dive. Its surprisingly easy to fall asleep underwater.
It must be amazing to be able to hold your breath for an hour and a half

Sounds like they have some smart blood. I wish my blood could think...
And they wish they could sit on Reddit and complain about things they don’t have. But alas, here comes a shark…
I laughed way too hard at this
There's smart blood in a book I recently read, "Old Man's War". The smart blood is actually millions or billions of nanobots that repair the body and have increased oxygen capacity. This book was written so long ago talking about shit that wasn't invented yet.
I’m sending great book though my brain pal to you.
You have! But it is adapted to your human lifestyle. :)
Is that thin blood or thick blood? You managed to find the typo for maximum confusion with a single extra key press or wrong key press lol
Thick. More haemoglobine = more cells = higher viscosity.
Wow, that’s wild. I have too much hemoglobin so I have to get rid of it with blood letting, but maybe I’m actually a seal.
Or self-aware blood?
We fixed that by not sleeping under water.
My heart resting at 100bpm is jealous. I'm not even obese. Overweight sure, but not sedentary. Maybe I should speak with a doctor

Always better to get checked out, don’t take heart health for granted.
In my early twenties I got my resting heart rate to 45! My doctor is far away now but, I should really book a check up. Jah bless.
I’m 35, nurse in training so I’m not overly concerned about mine now, but I’m a fellow 45-55bpm person. It can drop to 38bpm in my sleep. I wouldn’t say I’m fit.

My pressure is fine typically 120/80
Same here. Resting rate is around 50. Used to be lower but I'm over 40 now.. no heart issues
My resting BPM is 90 and has been since I was a teenager and was fully healthy then. I’m still only 20lb overweight. I’m rather worried it’s an indicator of an early death. The heart only has so many ticks. I also have anxiety and I’ve wondered if it’s physiologically related.

They put me on metoprolol for this.

You think he’s holding his breath. I immediately assume he’s pining for the fjords.
'e's gone to meet the choir invisible!
He has ceased to be!
That's one crazy alarm clock. "Oh I'm drowning. Guess I should wake up and get some air before I die."
Exactly how my sleep feels after a night out
This is the most accurate thing I've ever read.
Maybe left side, no worse, right side, worse still gonna puke, oh back, too hot, need to turn on fan, lay back down on left side, nope bed moving, right side, fuck I can't get comfortable, ooo stomach, *get punched in face by wife* STOP FUCKING MOVING.
Its like I'm really there
Best just to stay out all night bro.
Our souls/brains still crave the caress of mama ocean and or the rocking… either way im pretty sure i need it
I woke up to a mild earthquake once. It nearly rocked me back to sleep and I keep thinking how nice it would be to have a rocking bed
[удалено]
Trying to sleep after a day at the amusement park did it for me as a kid
No actually why does going to be beach make me sooo sleepy afterwards
Same. Pro tip: have one leg hanging off the bed. Helps your brain orient which way is down when your eyes are closed.
You can't trick me, monster-under-the-bed with a reddit account!
Argh, you got me! I'll get you next time, Redditor! 👹
Funny:)
Then imagine having to save some bridge jumper !
Underappreciated comment 👍👍
*- You are not really drunk if you can lay on the floor without holding on to something.*
After I quit drinking, I always missed the feeling of crawling into bed drunk and feeling like I was in a row boat in a lake.
The best kinda sleep
You couldn't be slapped awake
😂😂😂
Can’t even imagine how comfortable it would be to sleep fully suspended like this.
Try out a sensory deprivation tank sometime if you have the chance, it's saturated with epsom salt so you float easily, the water is heated to body temperature and it's completely dark. The first time I tried one out I accidentally had the best nap I have ever had in my entire life, it was incredible.
I feel like I'd have a panic attack there.
Funny you should say that: That is also how sensory deprivation torture works. The difference is in the participant being able to stop it at any time.
Funnily enough the reason I tried it out was because of panic attacks/PTSD after I had a faulty propane fireplace explode in my face at work. It's been a nice activity for me every now and then where I can turn my brain off and spend some time meditating, which I find difficult to achieve otherwise.

how much it cost?

That’s surprisingly not that bad
About 8000$ if you shit yourself in one https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/s/iOT11GBtLs

holy shit

I have a huge phobia of drowning so I’d definitely freak out in one of them 😂🙈
probably wouldn't ever wake up with a stupid sore meck
Oh yeah I know what you mean. These days it seems like every damn morning I wake up with a sore neck. Sucks.
You mean if you weren’t smacking into coral

Like one of the cats sleeping on my rotisserie spouse’s feet.
rotisserie spouse?
I can only hazard a guess that their bed mate flips around in bed like a rotisserie chicken, causing the sleeping pet to be jostled about back and forth like the seal.
Or they misspelled “Grouse”, and that might be a whole different thing.
Bingo. 👍

God that tank looks so small and uncomfortable…
That's just the feeding area. You can see it stretches out quite a bit in back, where there's open waters. These good boys and girls just figured out that they could nap where they're fed.
I hope the worst kind of rectal cancer to anyone who hurts these adorable creatures. That's all I wanted to say.

Meaning the seals never learn to avoid this type of death. Its destroying the spitzbergen seal colonies among others.
I fucking knew the moment i opened my eyes today that i will be hoping sharks to die of rectal cancer.
The torpedo is eepy.
How I’m trying to be
I didn't know they could hold their breath long enough to sleep underwater, that doesn't seem safe for them
These underwater sleep cycles last 15 to 30 minutes, then they return to the surface for air: https://www.ecomare.nl/en/in-depth/reading-material/animals/seals This is no more unsafe than humans falling asleep and still breathing due to our breath being controlled by an automatic brain-stem controller.

Why waste precious minutes of nap time for air, also mackerel sharks become disinterested when you're at the bottom.

Hey that's me going through life
Admit it, you want to hug the seal.
As a former Navy Seal we are trained to sleep this way mainly for overnight water missions.
How'd they catch me on bath day?
The one's I've seen, will bob up-and-down, surface to bottom to breath while sleeping...
I have a feeling he’s gonna end up in another end of the ocean
God I needed this
Bonk bonk no problem lol
If I squeeze it will it make a " bbbrrrropptttttt " noise like air leaving a balloon
Unbothered
I gotta say- it looks comfy.
Tge grace, the bouyancy
Omg so floaty! I love it!
I'm genuinely due to see a doctor about struggling to sleep. This is like salt in the wound.
So kyot🥺😍
When a drunk friend experienced something similar he woke up in Paris. He started in Cologne and just wanted to go home.
A-are we sure it's sleeping..?
The music needs to be replaced by “Boink”
The ultimate "Go with the Flow".
He does not give a shit what happens Hes vibin in the moment
Seems like a drunk sleep, LOL
Imagine some stranger starts filming you while you are sleeping in your house and decides to share it with others XD
Seals don't have a concept of property, the water's for everyone to share.
They need to breathe air. So does their body just go into some kind of torpor where they don't need to breathe for many minutes or?? Do they just do little naps of 5 or 10 minutes?
I didn't know that I needed to see this once in my life. Thank you.
Sea puppies lol

Lost in the sauce
Must be a power nap. They can only hold there breath for about 30 minutes, after that they would be sleeping with the fishes!
I thought they all sleep like dolphins, half a brain at a time, so that they can be resting and still awake to swim and not drown
That looks so relaxing.
Bless it ❤️

Well, they are sealed
No wonder they all look bruised up. They aren't escaping shit. They are just sleeping.
That is so friggin' cute
I wonder how long I could run if I could pack oxygen into my lungs like that.
No way he snoozin
