How to interpret sleep data?

what exactly do the different color bars mean when trying to interpret my sleep data? What does it mean when there is a gap? What does it mean when the color is a lighter shade of blue? Surprised I couldn’t find an article on this.

Add Blood Oxygen to sleep history Is there any way to add Blood Oxygen to the sleep history? I have found myself waking up a lot during the night and I was trying to troubleshoot why. Our house is by no means sound proof, so outside noise could be a problem, but I was wondering if blood oxygen level could also contribute but it seems that there is no way to see my sleep cycles and blood oxygen lows in the same history. Just wondering if it could be added. Thanks

I’m asking specifically about the bars and gaps, not the time stamps
