What does "slerp architecture indicated absence of deep sleep" mean on sleep study?

See below: Technically, it means that you did not have any Stage 3 non-REM sleep during your study. Practically speaking, however, it is most likely a reflection of the fact that people do not get a "normal" night sleep during one night in a sleep lab. It is not unusual to see no deep sleep, and even no REM sleep, during a first night in a sleep lab.

Stages 3 & 4: Stages 3 and 4 are referred to as deep sleep or delta sleep. Discuss correlating this with your problem with sleep MD.
