Sudden spO2 drop as soon as I fall into sleep

I've been a very bad sleeper historically. Recently, I've been noticing this weird swoosh sensation in my head as I slowly go into sleep and have the need to take a deep breath. I slapped on two oximeters on my index fingers and have been noticing that my heart rate drops into the 50s and my sp02 is in the mid/upper 80s into very low 90s. It continously happens everytime I start falling into sleep.

Is this drop safe or nornal and does it sound like sleep apnea? I sent a message to my doctor just now to see if I can be referred for a sleep test.
