Arousals and AHI?

Hello, hope all is well.

Quick question- My AHI was 11 (RDI 14.6) and my oxygen saturation lowest was 90%, most of my AHI is hypopneas, a few apnea and a few central, but my total arousal index is only a bit higher than normal.

Does this mean my sleep is actually okay, as these episodes of apnea/hypopneas did not cause an arousal? Or do these episodes still cause bad sleep even though there is no arousals? Did this on a home sleep study if that helps.

Spoke to doctor but they weren't sure, so asking here while i'm researching

Thanks!
