Please comment on SPO2 Data!

Post by Rogue Uvula » Tue Nov 02, 2010 10:39 am

Is there anything to be concerned about with this data. I'm thinking it is pretty decent, but wanted to get the opinion of those with more experience.
FWIW, I woke up from a dream at 7:59.

Although you registered several SpO2 events, your levels did not drop low enough to be considered obstructive. You may have been bouncing around in the various levels of sleep.

Ideally, you would like to see less SpO2 events, but as long as you don't desaturate below 90% you should be fine from the obstructive point of view.

As far as quality of sleep goes, you would probably have better quality if you could avoid those SpO2 events. The problem is that I am not sure how to do that.

Thanks HC.
I'll see how comments go for the next couple of days, but based on the lack of responses, I'm thinking there is not too much noteworthy here.
