Help to Interpret PSG Report Please

An Arousal is disturbance of your sleep, you may or may not know you are having them. Having less than 10 spontaneous arousals an hour is considered normal. Apnea/hypopnea Index (AHI) is the number of breathing disturbances you have per hour. Having an AHI of less than 5 is considered normal. Auto PAP units only know about AHI they do not count arousals. Having a lower AHI at the cost of having more arousals will not usually make you feel better. The goal of a cpap titration is to get your AHI AND Arousal index as low as possible.
