What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder. A person with sleep apnea will stop breathing while they sleep and leads to a lack of oxygen in the brain and the rest of the body. This lack of oxygen causes the brain to wake up the body to breathe before allowing it to go back to sleep. Most will not remember this the next morning, but it can happen hundreds of times a night and prevent one from ever reaching deep, restful sleep.
