How to read sleep studies

Join Harvard-trained sleep physician, Dr. Sahil Chopra, for a candid conversation on how to read and understand sleep studies

What to Know About Sleep Studies

Most people get one number back from their sleep study.

Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI). Under 5, you're told you're fine. Over 15, you're handed a CPAP. Either way, the conversation ends there.

That number sheds little light on sleep health, how fragmented your night was, how long your oxygen stayed down, or what your autonomic nervous system was doing while you slept.

Two people with the same AHI can have completely different physiology — and completely different paths forward.

In this session, Dr. Sahil Chopra walks through a real de-identified report line by line — what each number means, what standard interpretation misses, and how to read your own results through a Empower Sleep Lens.

Bring your report. Sleep is a system. Your results deserve to be read like one.

The format is a short presentation followed by a live "Ask Me Anything" with Dr. Chopra, where you can get your own sleep questions answered.

Topics:
  • Walkthrough of a real de-identified sleep study report
  • What standard interpretation misses
  • How to read your own sleep study
  • How to interpret AHI
