A member asked:
Wake up in middle of night with racing heart, only when i sleep by heater and room seems too hot, heart slows down when i go out in cooler air, why?

Cool environment: is generally more conducive for sleep. Are you anxious when you wake up? Short of breath or gasping? This could be a physiologic response to over-heating but if you answered yes to either of those questions than evaluation would be prudent. Take care.
