Caffeine. Caffeine is the reason. Have your father stop drinking any caffeine products before he goes to bed and he should have a more restful sleep.

Caffeine in black tea can cause tachyarrhythmias or fast and/or irregular heart beats that can wake him up. Not to mention that caffeine can take his sleep away through its stimulant effect.

Resting heart rate 115. 2 Martinis and 4 cigarettes in the past 5 hours probably the only reason? Drank about 4 glasses of water, anything else I can do to lower it? It's too uncomfortable to sleep with it beating so fast.
