Apple Watch SE - heart rate while not wearing

When I put my watch on this morning, I noticed that it had heart rate readings throughout the entire night but I don’t wear it at night. Is this a glitch?

That should not happen. The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
