Q: my apple watch alerted me that by heart rate reached 38bpm for 10 mins while i was sleeping, is this bad??

: I don't consider this unusual in your age bracket during sleep. Your average resting pulse during the day may also be on the slow side ( like mid 50's or low 60's) but if your heart rate rises appropriately during physical activities, there's no concern.
