Yep looks like my 'parenting two kids under 3' sleeping hours.

My resting heart rate went up 15% when I had a cold last year - starting two days before I felt any symptoms: http://i.imgur.com/X7vEFsC.png

Based on parallel experiences, having a puppy is like having a kid, except that the puppy is on dog-years time. They first sleep through the night after a month instead of 7, they start to talk back and push limit at 3 months instead of 2 years, ... and whatever else comes after that, since my dog is only 4.5 months old!

It probably diverges at some point. I don't think I have to worry about college applications when my dog is 2.5 years old, but who knows?

Dies the Fitbit track stress levels as a metric, or is it just heart rate?

Just heart rate - I believe it's logged at 5-second intervals during rest, and 1-second intervals during physical activity. I'm trying to get Python Fitbit working to download my HR data but am having API issues: http://python-fitbit.readthedocs.org/

I've got https://github.com/magnific0/FitBit.py working (with a minor tweak - the refresh token path is missing a "return", it seems) for downloading my heart rate data. Works great.

Drop me a note (contacts in profile) if you want a copy before I get around to github'ing the changes.
