true.

I wake up once or twice to go to the loo, especially if I try to hydrate adequately.

Everyone is different, if you feel rested, it does not matter how long you sleep or how many times you wake up.

Indeed I think your heart rate is lowest right on awaking in the morning (count before even sitting up), it might be higher during the night (REM sleep or what have you).
