What should my Oxygen Sats be during sleep?

I live in the mountains, a mile high. With a full face mask on, my sats drop down between 90 and 92 during sleep. With my Liberty/Hybrid (which broke after only two months of use and am awaiting for a new one to be resent) I hover between 92-93. I'm told by my MD they should be around 94 when I sleep.

What should they be?

Anyone have any input on this?

Thanks, Noah

O2 averages differe from person to person. I prefer that my own stats stay above 90% with as few events as possible.

Thanks for your reply. I also read on a medical site, that 92-94% stats are good for a mile high elevation. I guess I'm okay with my hybrid mask.

Being in Denver I would have to agree with 92-94% being good.
