Red lights flashing on iPhone X notch

Before bed (in the dark), whenever I try to unlock my iPhone using Face ID I see red lights flashing on the iPhone X notch. Is it normal? Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve turned my phone off and on, even factory reset the device to see if that would fix the problem but it didn’t.

That is completely normal. That's how the IR-sensors for Face ID on iPhone X work.
