Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Known arrhythmias (e.g., atrial fibrillation, frequent premature ventricular contractions) that may interfere with HRV analysis; 2.Currently taking medications that may significantly affect autonomic function or HRV (e.g., beta-blockers, anticholinergics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, sedative-hypnotics; occasional users must be documented and accounted for in the analysis); 3.Pregnant or lactating women; 4.Planning any activities during the study period that could interfere with the results (e.g., long-distance travel across time zones); 5.Individuals who are unable to comply with the study procedures or wear the monitoring devices as required; 6.Any other condition that the investigator deems unsuitable for participation in the study;
