To get the gross number of events over the entire night you have to multiply the AHI by the number of hours the machine was on and since you can't have partial events you have to round up (or down) the total to get the gross number.

1.8 times 8 hours is 14.4 or either 14 or 15 depending on the rounding.
Now if you had 8 1/4 hours the gross number is going to be 14.85 or rounded up to 15.

1.8
Generally, 2.0 and below is considered very good therapy.

Since you "moved around in bed a lot", some of the events may have been "transition apneas" which are harmless.
