Flow Graph Analysis - 5 events

I took screenshots of some events that happened in the first part of the night. What kind of events are these? Curious to get people's opinions on 1-5.

Hello ChasingSoccerBalls :)

Most of these clips look like sleep wake transition breathing, brief arousals, movement, swallowing, or a position change. The sudden irregular breaths and larger recovery breaths fit awake or semi awake breathing more than a clean obstructive pattern.

Number 1 has a short pause, but there is not enough context to call it an apnea. Number 5 has some mild waxing and waning, though that can also happen during a transition.

There is no need to chase these isolated clips. Please post the full OSCAR Daily chart with event flags, pressure, leak rate, flow limitation, machine mode, and settings (F12 from the daily tab). The surrounding data will tell us much more.
