Sleep apnea is a disorder that causes breathing to stop and start repeatedly during sleep, leading to interruptions that can last from a few seconds to an entire minute.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent form, characterized by throat muscles failing to keep the airway open, often resulting in loud snoring.
Complex central sleep apnea is particularly challenging, occurring when central apneas begin or persist during treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with CPAP.
Common symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, and mood swings, indicating serious health risks if left untreated.
