Athletes often have a very low resting heart rate in the 35-50 range but is this while sleeping? And does it even go lower during sleep?

Last night while falling asleep, my heart rate increased from resting to workout rate. A week ago, I took a caffeine pill for the first time. Is there a connection between the two? When should I be worried? I only take regular supplements. Thank you?
