So, we need a multi-axis score that would show separate components of sleep. Maybe something like:

AHI, lowest o2, Staging score.

The result would look like 12,96,7

It would sort of look like a fertilizer number :)

Maybe Drs will say that's just too complicated, but they shouldn't because they also deal with multiple numbers for other things like Cholesterol. It's either that or continue to rely on a single number that misrepresents the patient's situation.

Just my opinion as a patient.
