Since I got my Polar HRM I have been fascinated with HR during exercise and resting heart rate. Curious, I wore my HRM to bed last night.
The most interesting thing to me is the ramp up from 63bpm at 7:21am to 83bpm at 9:20am. Each step represents 1bpm over 5 minutes. Incidentally, I woke up at 9:20am. I really don’t know what it means, but I am fascinated by it and I will probably be doing more. I’m curious what HR during sleeping time looks like post-exercise.

looks like a fault to me.
Interesting! Do you recall what you were dreaming about? Seems like 7:15am is when you entered REM.
If you like your Polar HRM, look into HRV & SCL Biofeedback devices. You can hook-up to your Mac and train how to control your heart-rate as well as other bodily functions most people cannot control.
