Sleep apnoea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing involuntarily stops and starts. Repetitive episodes of upper airway blockage during sleep, is called obstructive sleep apnoea. However, in central sleep apnoea, the airway is not blocked but the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe.

People with sleep apnea often feel tired after several hours in bed. This is due to fragmentation of deep, restorative sleep many times throughout the night.

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing stops during sleep. This means the brain — and the rest of the body — may not get enough oxygen. Sleep apnea is a condition that makes you stop breathing for short periods while you are asleep.

Sleep apnea occurs when you regularly stop breathing for 10 seconds or longer during sleep. It can be mild, moderate, or severe based on the number of times an hour that you stop breathing (apnea) or reduce in the airflow (hypopnea). This is the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).
