Sleep Apnea is a Serious Sleep Disorder
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times. This means the brain — and the rest of the body — may not get enough oxygen. This results in loss of sleep, which effects everything from work to home life to even medical and physical problems.
Causes of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition in which the tongue and throat tissue of the one who suffers from it collapse into the throat and restrict the passage of air into and out of the lungs. As a result, the sufferer begins to snore incessantly as well as experience frequent sleep interruptions when the tongue is forcefully dislodged from the throat. This condition has a lot of symptoms, besides the already mentioned snoring and interrupted sleep that make life really difficult for the sufferer and those around him/her.
Sleep Apnea is Dangerous
Many people who have heard of the condition ‘Sleep Apnea’ probably do not consider it a real threat. This is mostly because the part of the condition that is usually highlighted is the interrupted sleep, shortness of breath and snoring.
