Explanation:

• Being female instead of male: Generally, females have a slightly higher resting heart rate than males on average.
• Taking it at night instead of in the morning: There is no inherent reason that taking it at night would lead to a higher resting heart rate compared to the morning.
• Staying inside an air - conditioned room: Being in an air - conditioned room does not directly cause a higher resting heart rate.

Being female instead of male.
