I Went For An 8 Hour Sleep Study. The Study

I went for an 8 hour sleep study. The study revealed 1 obstructive apnea & 2 hyponeas ( AHI= 0.4/hr). The SpO2 baseline in sleep is 97%, and the nadir oxygen saturation during obstruction is 92%.

Pardon my ignorance, but how does 3 apnea's in an 8 hour span give reason to state: "avoid driving and other situations requiring sustained vigilance when sleepy".

Is - Apnea Index: 0.1 and Hypopnea Index: 0.3 a serious condition?
