To me these don't look bad but they confirm that I move alot!

Sleep Study  
Without CPAP

Sleep Architecture
Total sleep period was 253 minutes.
Total sleep time was 222.5 minutes.
Sleep efficiency was 79.9 %  
Sleep Onset latency was 25.2 minutes

Sleep stage summary:
10.1% in stage 1 sleep
56% in stage 2 sleep
9% in stage 3 sleep
2.7% in stage 4 sleep
22.2% in REM sleep

EVENTS
2 Obstructive apneic events
43 Obstructive hyponeic events
Apnea hypopnea index was 12.1
23 arousals

Significant Leg Movement activity noted
Total of 86 events with 11 arousal

Oxygen Saturation:  45.1% of the time during REM sleep with a sat below 90%

CPAP PORTION OF STUDY

Showed total obliteration of periodic leg movement activity with CPAP.  Oxygen saturation remained above 90% throughout with CPAP.

Diagnosis
Mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
Periodic leg movement syndrome

Nocturnal CPAP at 9CM of water pressure.

Will, I'm no expert. Only 4 1/2 months on xPAP. BUT - you will notice the xPAP therapy totally eliminated your PLM. GOOD SIGN! Your sleep time was good (wish "I" could have slept that much during my evaluation much less during my titration study).

Your sleep efficiency is for beans. Even mine was 83%.
You wasted too much time in Stage 2 sleep and came up way short on Stages 3 and 4 which is where you get your most restful sleep.
They like to see your AHI at 5 or less. Yours was 12.1
Its confusing that 45% of your REM sleep your 02 sats were below 95% which is not good. But then the statement "oxygen saturation remained above 90% throughout with CPAP" really confuses the issue.

Hopefully, those w/more experience will respond to your post and give you better answers.

I'm not saying I have more experience because I don't....but my take on the O2 saturation being above 90% with CPAP means your levels are at an acceptable level with treatment.  With no CPAP your O2 went to an unacceptable level.  In other words CPAP works and you don't need additional O2 like I do.  

You also don't have an extremely high pressure which should make it easier to tolerate.  Some people have trouble with the pressure.I never have and I have a high pressure of 20.  We are all different though.  Good luck with your treatment.
