Hypoxia is common during nighttime in overweight individuals due to obstructive sleep apnea which can occur in people with normal weight as well and depends on other factors as well.

Increase your physical activity during the day, go to bed and rise at a fixed time, do not use screens atleast 90 minutes before your sleep time. Try to create a distraction free calm environment in your place of rest and sleep. If you continue to face the issue, consult a doctor.
