Sleep disturbances refer to the total number of periods of wakefulness (5-40 minutes in duration each) during sleep; reported in 24-hour cycles. The fewer disturbances you have during sleep, the better:
1 or fewer disturbances : Excellent
2 disturbances : Fair
3 or more disturbances : Poor
Whereas awakenings are periods of wakefulness that are less than 5 minutes in duration each.
