Understanding Sleep Data
What does hypoxic burden reveal about oxygen drops during sleep?
Understanding Hypoxic Burden
Hypoxic burden measures the cumulative impact of oxygen drops by considering their depth and duration, rather than simply counting how often they occur. Two nights with similar event counts can therefore have very different levels of oxygen disruption. Tracking hypoxic burden over multiple nights can reveal changes in stability, longer-term trends and shifts from a person’s usual baseline.
