What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that happens when something interrupts a person’s breathing while they are asleep. People stop breathing periodically during the night.

That lack of oxygen and regular sleep interruptions can lead to many health problems.

Are You At Risk?

Sleep apnea occurs in two forms. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the more common of the two. It generally results from soft tissue at the back of the throat blocking the individual’s airway while they sleep. Central sleep apnea is a nervous system problem, where the brain fails to control breathing muscles the way it should. There is a malfunction in the part of the brain that controls respiration.
