A member asked:
How does ahi impact sleep architecture then?what does sleep architecture depend on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
# of awakenings: Sleep architecture has more to do with the number of awakenings and arousals, and these do not necessarily correlate with the ahi. Some people awaken or go into an arousal state during apnea or hypopnea and many don't.
