I had troubles finding that info out too... The sleep doc had told us that my son was having approx 15 arousals an hour (for a total of 150 that night). During his sleep study, he never stopped breathing, just appeared to be struggling to breathe with these arousals. They came up with a dx of upper airway resistance syndrome.

What was your sons diagnosis?
