I'm hoping those of you in the know will take a look and give me some feedback

is it absolutely terrible?

do I need cpap for certain?

Evan, for better communication and interpretation you should have posted in continuation to your previous thread viewtopic/t62366/opinions-of-oximeter-r ... ml#p583657 .
Also compare the statistics to what you know about your sleep study report, and to your subjective feelings during and after each of these nights.
Actually an experienced sleep doctor can just examine the curves and make a qualitative judgment. To my inexperienced eye it looks like the high average statistics are swayed by what happens during the first hour, with apparently long sleep onset.
If you look at the data positively, then CPAP has a considerable effect.

Re image resolution: you're hyperlinking to your JPG image of size 753px × 620px; is that the best your oxymeter can do? Maybe Lizistired or others with the same model can comment on how their oxymetry data has been used.

Careful, that is not correct.

Your data while using the CPAP machine looks better than this data. This data indicates that you desaturated to 80% and experienced O2 desaturations at the rate of 41 per hour. Also your average O2 level dropped.

I think you may be better off napping and using your CPAP machine.
