Heart rate is high during deep sleep is this normal?

[KazBlue]

I drop straight into deep sleep due to a good relaxing massage each night from partner. But my heart rate is high during deep sleep. I thought it was supposed to be low. is there any way I can lower my heartrate during the early stages of sleep for me? see my pics below

Hi @KazBlue

It's a good question. Ultimately, I think it would take a doctor or sleep study to answer that definitively.

But in general, you can do a few things to lower your heartrate. Like avoiding excitement before bedtime. Avoiding electronics a few hours before bed. Using blue-blocking glasses. Having a relaxing routine.

When I get graphs like yours, it's usually because I'm not relaxing enough before bedtime, or sometimes have pushed a workout a little far that day, so my body can't unwind. But that's just me, your results may vary. Best of luck.
