Versa 2 is tracking my heart rate way high while sleeping

[codam]

I noticed a spike in my heart rate while sleeping the other night. My bpm went to 119 from 60 for about 15 minutes and I was wondering if something like that happened to anyone else. I'm just afraid if might be a heart problem. Thank you

Hi there, @codam. Welcome to the Community Forums. 

While you’re asleep each night, your body typically goes through several sleep cycles that last on average 90 minutes. In each cycle you alternate between two types of sleep. For more information, see What should I know about Fitbit sleep stages? 

Fitbit estimates your sleep stages using a combination of your movement and heart-rate patterns. While you’re sleeping, your device tracks the beat-to-beat changes in your heart rate, known as heart rate variability (HRV), which fluctuate as you transition between light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep stages.

Your sleep stages data helps you track your patterns and notice variations. If you have any concerns about your sleep health we recommend sharing the information with your doctor. A good source of additional information is the National Sleep Foundation.

Hope that helps.

I just discovered the same issue. Only I checked 4 weeks off data. It happens almost every night. It appears to occur between midnight and 2:00 am. But there are so many that are literally at 12:04 am. The spike is scary high for being asleep, like 140 BPM. I think if my heart were racing like that I would feel out of breath and wake up. I actually wore a heart  monitor last year because of a different reason and there was no episodes like that. I think it’s the watch, but would like to know how to fix this  or what to do before I dismiss it as a watch ticker problem versus a real ticker problem. 

The answer you got was not sufficient.
