Get a watch with a hand that counts seconds and take your heart-rate for 10 seconds and multiply by 6 to get beats per minute.

At 18 your restaing heart rate should be about 65 beats per minute and your maximum about 200 beats per minute (220 minus age).

Record your heart rate during one of the sleeping episodes and post it on this site and you should be advise.
