When checking out my sleep earlier on my Inspire HR, I noticed a gap in my heart rate monitoring for a few minutes while I was I was sleeping. This is the first time I've seen it happen so far. I've been having issues when I've been falling asleep (feeling like my heart stopped beating) so I'm kinda worried.  What could it be?

@aintacat Welcome to the Community. Thanks for the details mentioned. 

 

Several factors can affect your heart rate, including air temperature, stress level, physical body position, and medication use (source). 

 

Exercising in cold weather can make it more difficult for your device to track your heart rate, as environmental conditions can affect skin perfusion (the amount of blood that flows through your skin).

Review our tips in How do I improve the accuracy of my heart-rate reading on my Fitbit device? For any concerns about your heart-rate data, contact your physician. 

 

I'll be around if you have any additional questions.
