Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a common but serious sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These pauses in breathing can last from a few seconds to minutes and may occur multiple times throughout the night. There are three main types of sleep apnea:- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): The most common form, caused by a blockage of the airway, usually when the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses during sleep.
- Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): Occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
- Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A combination of both obstructive and central sleep apnea.
