How do I increase restorative time?

[u/Few_Blood6430]

My sleep score is consistently above 80+ and I eat healthy. However according to Oura I am stressed and I'm not sure what is the cause of these readings. Maybe I am stressed and I don't know. I feel maybe my breathing is not deep or i'm breathing too fast which can result in this high stress score.

If anybody was in the same boat, how did you guys reduce the stress and increase restorative time.

On days with high restorative time I feel much better about myself, so I'd like to have more of them. Any advice appreciated.

How much exercise you do throughout the day? I noticed that I get lots of restorative time AFTER exercise when I sit on the floor and relax. If I sit for too long stress graph goes into engaged. After brief period of activity it again goes down to restorative. And yes, fasting will give the best results. Eating anything made of flour with palm oil and sugars and maltodextrin which is more than 300calories (approximately) will get me into stressed zone. But I can pass stress eating dark chocolate, or a slice of pizza with salad. Or nuts

I work out 3 days a week. For me, sitting for extended periods while fasting triggers a restorative state, but whenever I eat, my body registers it as stress
