Detail from a qualifying series • NREM example

Educational reference, not a diagnostic tool. A scored event, an elevated index and a clinical diagnosis are different things. Follow your facility’s scoring manual, notification policies and clinical protocols.

  • EEG frequency shifts at 15.5 s while the LM is still occurring; shift lasts 4 s.
  • Assume ≥10 s of prior sleep. Association uses overlap or a gap <0.5 s; not causation.
