Where do you set your high alert? And repeat after how long? (Mainly interested in nighttime, obviously)

180/never

I wake up often enough as it is. Probably should go for the dreaded prostate exam.

I aim for 95. I’m running loop, so I don’t need to get there exactly; loop will try to steer towards that target. But if I cross the hi limit I want to take a look to see if I should correct harder than loop thinks it should.
