You're always burning calories even if you're laying down, so your HRM will keep registering until you die.

Usually I turn my HRM off once my heart rate comes down to a reasonable level (I use 110 for that marker currently). Only takes a minute or two after I'm done with my exercise.

Please don't be embarrassed. I was wondering the same thing. I usually turn mine off after cool down.

Not a dumb question by any means and found myself wondering if I should turn it off once I am done running or after my cool down. In the end, it doesn't matter. Your body doesn't stop burning calories just because you shut the hrm off. I sometimes turn it off immediately after the run but sometimes after my cool down, or after my stretch, or after I remember. My advice, for logging purposes, just be consistent. For example, if you choose to do it after the cool down, always do it after the cool down.
