HRV defined

HRV stands for Heart Rate Variability.

It’s a physiological measure of the tiny differences in time between each heartbeat — also called R-R intervals (the time between successive R-waves on an ECG).

Without any tech at all

You can’t really measure HRV by hand, because it requires millisecond-level timing between beats. At most, you can take your resting pulse manually (count beats per minute), but that gives only heart rate — not variability.

Seems like an "edge" metric at most.
