Mon, 20 Oct 2008 @ 19:05 || Sleep Study Results || Home

Without the CPAP mask
Time asleep 2hrs 2mins
14.5 minutes of N2 sleep
no REM sleep
Sleep efficiency 63%
9 central apneas
22 obstructive apneas
1 mixed apnea
53 hypopneas
16 RERAs
AHI 40/hour
RDI 47.5/hour
RDI supine 138.9/hour
RDI left side 40/hour
RDI right side 64.2/hour
SpO2 low 75% avg 89.9%

With CPAP mask
Time asleep 2hrs 16mins
6 minutes of N2 sleep
5.5 minutes REM sleep
Sleep efficiency 54.7%
AHI 16.8/hour
RDI 28.1/hour
SpO2 low 86% avg 91.1%

So.. if I'm reading this right, wearing the CPAP mask at night I increase my Sp02 avg by 1.1%, not sure if thats worth the cost or the annoyance. The REM sleep is concerning, but not sure if this test is conclusive that I don't get REM sleep w/o a mask. I need to look up the apneas, I still don't understand them.
