Did your body physically jerk/jolt or was it more of a brain alert/sensation? Mine is the brain sensation 100% my body never moves, but everything else you just said sounds like me 100%

For you to feel you didn't sleep much and them to say you slept is common. Perception on sleep is not always accurate.. What you'll want to know is how much of each stage and position to know whether your results represent a good sampling of what they would need to see for a definitive diagnosis. You'll want to know if those jerks are limited to when falling asleep or if they continue while you sleep. I'm with those who say to get the report. You may find all your wonderings are totally off target. If a patient goes for their follow-up and says that the tech told them this or that, the tech could be in a lot of trouble. Their lack of being forthcoming with information does not necessarily mean a lack of relevant data was gathered.

You can clearly see my sleep cycles and when I was awake. I was diagnosed as severe with about 2 1/2 hours of sleep. I could also see the obvious changes in oxygen saturation s well as when the cpap treatment started.
