Sleeping heart rate (minimum) vs resting heart rate
I'm wondering if there is a correlation between these two.
A little background: I would ideally like someone to wear a heart rate sensor all day and all night and without any explicit action from them, I want to calculate the resting heart rate. I know when they will be asleep and so I want to use the minimum heart rate from their sleeping time to work out what their waking resting heart rate is. Thanks!
EDIT: Alternative suggestions regarding working out the resting heart rate (without explicit instructions to the subject to stay still for 10 min etc.) are also welcome!

I am curious about your endeavor to determine the resting heart rate using the sleeping heart rate. Please note that sleeping heart rate is variable compared to resting heart rate. This is caused by many factors to REM sleep during the night. This is contrary to our ability to control the conditions of a subject/patient to determine resting rate. In fact the average sleeping rate is decreased by 8b/m from resting heart rate.
I am ready to add more information if you still have questions.
