Reading the overnight chart

How to read the dual-axis SpO₂ and heart-rate trace for a night.

Updated 2026-06-28

Every session opens on its overnight chart — a single view of how your blood oxygen and heart rate moved across the night.

The overnight trace: SpO₂ on the left axis (green), heart rate on the right axis (red).
The overnight trace: SpO₂ on the left axis (green), heart rate on the right axis (red).

The two lines

  • SpO₂ (green, left axis) runs 70–100%. Healthy sleep sits near the top; sharp dips are desaturation events.
  • Heart rate (red, right axis) runs 30–200 bpm. Look for the cyclic rises that often pair with desaturations.

Zoom and pan

  • Use the −/+ controls to zoom the time axis, and the ◀/▶ arrows to pan.
  • Drag across a region to select it for closer analysis.
  • Hit reset to return to the full night.

Zoom into a cluster of dips to see whether they line up with heart-rate swings — that pairing is the signature of cyclic variation of heart rate (CVHR).

Next, see what the numbers behind the chart mean in overnight analysis metrics.
