Heart rate going up whilst asleep

[LC2008]

Hi there,

I've been finding my heart rate will dip down as I go to sleep for the first few minutes and then steadily rise over the night, with a few peaks. My average sleeping heart rate is higher than my resting heart rate so I don't think it's just REM/vivid dreams. It's almost like a reverse hammock, though seems worse at the beginning of the night and will sometimes dip down below rhr by 2am or so. I try to practise good sleep hygiene so don't drink or eat in the few hrs before bed, don't use screens, dark room, etc. Has anyone been through similar and worked out what it is please? (Can't work out how to post a screenshot!)
