Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These pauses in breathing can last for a few seconds to minutes and may occur multiple times throughout the night, leading to disrupted sleep and decreased oxygen levels in the blood. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea, where throat muscles relax excessively, while central sleep apnea occurs when the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe. Symptoms often include loud snoring, daytime fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
