Results of First Sleep Study

So I just got back from the doctors and the short version is:

52 Events in 6 Hours, all Obstructive Hyponeas
1: 4.1%
2: 61.6%
3: 15.5%
REM: 18.8%

OMS: 90% Lowest 84%
<89% 23.9%

Shortest R-r 0.4 Seconds and longest 0.9

I do understand this is mild, he did mention my events are partial obstructions and does recommend I use the S10 Auto with a P10. He mentioned that he has people with much less make major life quality improvements; and also mentioned my REM sleep is low and that would make the difference. Any thoughts or Advice?

8.67 AHI, for anyone else challenged at head math on short notice

Do it.

Take that 8.67 and divide it into 60, see how many minutes of potentially restful sleep you get before your breathing disturbs you... on average. (6.9...) so it's like someone poking you with a stick every 6.9 minutes.... all night long.

Thanks for the input, the stick analogy does put it context, sounds like a Chinese torture to keep you out of REM. I can’t imagine how my brother feels with 140 per hour.

I was fortunate enough that my Insurance is going to cover it, but I do have to wait about 7-10 days to start.
