So to sum up, would be helpful to review sleep studies. If you total up all the "RERAs" (I concede there are some) the RDI might be a minuscule (i.e., "normal") number.
But if Sleep Efficiency turns out to be something awful, perhaps with an explainable cause, she may get a better bang for the buck looking at that instead of DWing.

Thanks. I got a referral to a real sleep doctor, and hopefully they can schedule me in before too long. They might schedule another sleep test to get better data possibly? I'll see what they say.

To me, this looks like poor sleep at its worst (or best, depending on how you look at it).
In a close-up of an area, there do appear to be some RERA here, and the snoring flags are correct in drawing attention to it:
so while OP denies snoring, might not be enough to rattle the pictures off the wall, but it's enough to create an issue.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, Nocibur
