@krissyelkins07 I'm sorry I didn't see your question about what does the PMLD arousal number mean. I think it means the following -- The PLM Index (PLMI) is calculated by dividing the total number of PLMs by sleep time in hours. Periodic Limb Movements Index of more than 5 and less than 25 is considered mild; PLMI of >25 and <50 is considered moderate and >50 is severe. Here's the source:
