They did this with me, too, both in Ontario and in West Virginia. My o2 readings go to undetectable ranges while I sleep. Under 60% and the sensor can't detect it.
In my last test at the lab where I had to go without a CPAP or Bi-PAP, they detected 254 breathing episodes in 149 minutes of sleep - an average of 102 episodes per hour. I was NOTICEABLY not myself that day. What I really notice is how testy I get if I don't have my machine with me. My whole personality changes. After two days, I start getting narcoleptic, and start to fall asleep while driving, and other things.
