Can you help me interpret this cluster of events?

Can you help me interpret this cluster of events?
Last night, I had a 4 minute time frame that contributed to almost half of my AHI score for the night.  The machine scored it as a mix of OA's and CA's, yet there was zero flow limit during this time, so I'm not sure how I could have OA's with no flow limit?  Does anyone know why it would be scored this way in the data?  I've attached screenshots of those events as well as the whole night.

RE: Can you help me interpret this cluster of events?
Looks like you're awake and moving. The events arise out of a significant increase in flow, followed by an OA which is likely a breath-hold as you turn. I would guess the centrals are sleep wake junk as you transition back to sleep.
