Here's a shot of several minutes where I think the machine records a couple of obstructive apneas (not totally sure that first OA isn't after an arousal) and then several central apneas and repeating areas of gradually decreasing flow and followed a sudden big increase. Are these true apneas? (I watched a couple of those videos, and I would think that yes, they are true apneas, but I don't know enough yet to know what I don't know...).

The obvious arousal breathing at 02:51 would make me suspect all the flagged events after that as being SWJ stuff. Never went back to sleep. I don't see asleep breathing in there.

Now the machine only responds to air flow and what it thinks it is seeing but sometimes it gets it wrong.
It does the best it can given the information it has available but the one critical thing missing....was the person really asleep or not.
