Hi,

i only sleep about 3-4 hours a night. I wake up several times a night, sometimes I know what wakes me, pain...But most of the time I don't, all I know is I just sit right up. My doc wanted to rule out central sleep apnea, because I have chiari malformation. I went for a sleep study and got my results. I know I didn't sleep during the test they way I do at home, I never wake up in the same position I fall asleep in like I did for the test. They said if my symptoms persist, I should have another study done. I don't see my doctor for 2 more weeks and wondered if anyone knew what some of this might mean?

Latency to the onset of sleep was markedly prolong at 76 minutes.

The overall architecture of sleep revealed all phases of sleep to be represented but rem sleep significantly diminished to only 17.2% of the total.

No apneic episodes were observed; a single hypopneic event was seen. A handful of abnormal limb movements was observed.
