When do you measure RHR and over what duration do you average it? I am using a Pulse oximeter. A related question is, how to measure Stroke Volume? Is SV a useful measure, if it can't be measured directly? It would be great if somebody can link me to journal articles about these topics.
I don't, but I remember reading that it is best to do in bed in the morning when you first wake up naturally (not from an alarm). So you need to keep it close at hand to where you sleep.

This is what I do, but I'm not sure if I am doing it right or not? I take the lowest reported number (sometimes there are huge 10+bpm fluctuations).
My resting heart rate is 39 so I know I have the potential to be much faster than most people.
Look it up yourself you lazy POS.

most people wake up with an alarm so the morning routine doesnt work. what i do is wear a heart rate monitor while taking an afternoon nap, then check the HR graph vs time, and look for the lowest HR that doesnt seem like an outlier.
Measure it while you are sleeping.
Lay it down on the table on top of a ruler.
I go the easy route, I count for 1 second then take that times 60.
Glad to be of assistance.
