BPM while sleeping

Hey everyone,

 

I just got a fitbit from my wife for fathers day and I love it so far. 

 

So I am checking my sleep data and the BPM while the hours I am sleeping and its interesting that the graph is up and down. It goes from 57 to 64-66. So I am wondering if that is happening while I am dreaming? Or is that normal? I would think that REM sleep would be a constant low BPM? 

 

Thanks!

While your low points *might* be when you're in REM sleep, I don't believe it is possible to know that without a fairly sophisticated test with hardware far beyond a wrist tracker.  As for your question about the rate bouncing around, yes, that's normal; mine typically bounces up and down five or so beats per minute as shown on the daily 5-minute plot; here's a screen grab I took a few weeks ago:
