oximeter while waiting for sleep study

Post by StephenR » Thu Sep 18, 2014 10:11 am

Thought I would try the oximeter again while waiting for the sleep study.
I have noticed that I am very tired/spacy in the morning, gradually feeling
better as the day goes on. Apparently I am very quiet at night, just a gentle snore the
night before last...

Anyway, anyone have an opinion of this screen shot from SleepHead??

It looks like your drop in O2 at about 23:15 was caused by a loss of contact. The event just after midnight looks like it may be the real thing. It looks like you had some arousals at 0:45, 1:45, 3:00, 4:00 and I am not sure what was going on at 5:00 but you may have been waking up.

If you eliminate the big initial drop the O2 stats don't look too bad. Keep in mind that it is better to look at the data over a few nights than to dial in on a single night.
