Exactly my point. I have a lot of formal first aid training and one of my certs is American Red Cross Oxygen Administration for the Professional Rescuer. One of the questions on the test for this cert has to do with hypoxia causing people to "act agitated and irritable."
That agitation and irritability is Mother Nature's way of saying "get some oxygen, now!!!"
