What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a disorder that causes the sufferer to stop breathing for periods of time when sleeping. This constant stopping and starting of the breath can be caused by a number of factors, including the relaxing of the throat muscles (obstructive sleep apnea), improper signaling from the brain (central sleep apnea), or a combination of the two (complex sleep apnea syndrome).

The most common form of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition that is triggered by the unintentional relaxation of the throat muscles, a reaction that blocks airways, making it difficult to breathe. If you suffer from OSA, you have probably been told that you snore, chortle, or gasp while you sleep - sometimes up to 30 times per hour.

Unsurprisingly, many sleep apnea patients complain of chronic fatigue as their lack of proper breathing during sleep prevents them from getting the restful sleep they deserve!
