Slow heart rate: It is common and normal for heart rate to slow during sleep. Unless there are other things to make you worry about a slow heart rate (such as fatigue or shortness of breath doing exercise, or dizziness or fainting) I would not worry about this. If you want specific guidance, consider getting a cardiology consult here on HealthTap.
