Both your sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons have a constant rate of firing under normal conditions. This is called their "tone", and it maintains the normal rate of your heartbeat, keeps your blood pressure within a normal range and such to maintain homeostasis.

Of course, the sympathetic and parasympathetic firing rate changes greatly during fight-or-flight responses and such.
