Sleep data analysis needed

Hi all

I have been using a normal portable pulse oximeter CMS50D+ by Contec to measure in good estimates how my sleep quality is. I seem to have trouble analyzing my sleep graph. I recognize that anything about 95% SpO2 is a good range to be. Anything below spells some sort of trouble. This is for the experts here, how do you filter out noise from data that you really want to look at.

Please take a look at the attached for an example. This data is partially from my sleep last night.

    you only need to put it on for 20 to 30 seconds to check your O2 levels not all night.If you are healthy you should be between 95-98% O2 you will never get to 100% because there will be CO2 exiting your body all the time in your deoxygenated blood.

      Hi Richard. Thanks for your reply. I was thinking about monitoring my sleep quality which is why I had on for the whole night. There's just too much fluctuation in oxygen levels that I don't know which is false positive.
