You’re exhausted. You finally lie down, the lights go out, and for a brief moment there’s silence. Then, out of nowhere, you feel it—your heart starts pounding. Not just a little faster, but hard enough that you notice it in your chest, your throat, sometimes even in your ears.
You wonder, “What is wrong with me? Why does my heart race at night like this?” You might even lie there feeling both scared and confused. It wasn’t happening during the day. Nothing “bad” is happening right now. So why is your body acting like there’s an emergency?

This article is here to help you understand that layer. Because many times, your heart isn’t just racing against you—it’s trying to speak to you.
