Random spike in heart rate reading in middle of night?

Anyone ever had a one off incorrect heart rate reading while sleeping? I checked this when I woke up this morning and there’s one data point that is wildly higher than the rest. I’m assuming maybe I was in a weird position or something when it read it but kinda alarming not knowing if it’s legit or not.

It may not be off or incorrect at all. You could have been having a nightmare as your heart rate did increase at 5:25, then spike at 5:36. But we are all users on this user to user only forum and we can't give medical advice. If you are concerned the value of these measurements is to share them with your doctor.
