What else did study: show? RLS is a cause of poor sleep and daytime somnolence, but it should not be associated with hypoxia. Did the study show any evidence of either central or obstructive sleep apnea? While your clonazepam is a very low dose, if you have underlying lung disease or other causes of hypoxia, it may be contributing to it. You need to talk to the physicians who ordered and interpreted your study.
