High Heartrate When Sleeping?

[mhc48]

You guys who posted charts woke up 6 and 7 times during your sleep. Did you get out of bed or go to the bathroom? I had low heart rates for most of the night but with several spikes which, when I checked on the first (moon symbol) graph, correlated exactly with the times I got out of bed or went to the bathroom.

Mine shows I woke up 11 times. I know I slept poorly last night (woke up with a headache), but I didn't get out of bed once and don't recall actively waking up.

This could be due to the rapid movement part of sleep.

"Sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure, too."


Dead right it can, I had to share a room in a hostel with 6 other bikers, one of them had sleep Apnea and my blood pressure went through the roof as I ended up sleeping in a chair in the hallway........

If you can trust Wikipedia, I found an article that states a heartrate of 40-50bpm when sleeping is 'normal': Bradycardia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (but really, we should all take Wikipedia with a grain of salt )

That is fairly accurate. Bradycardia is when HR falls below 40 during sleep for a sustained period of time. 40-70 is normal, although you rarely see in in the low 40's. It also depends on age. Kids have much higher resting HRs than adults.
