Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects eighteen million Americans and millions more worldwide. Many people who live with sleep apnea are unaware they even have a sleep disorder. They may dismiss symptoms of sleep apnea as simply snoring, or attribute tiredness and irritability to stress or other variables. Often family members are more concerned about sleep apnea symptoms than the affected individual.
A Definition of Sleep Apnea
The literal definition of sleep apnea is "cessation of breath while sleeping." Apnea is Greek for cessation of breath. A more helpful definition of sleep apnea is a serious and common sleep disorder causing people to stop breathing for short periods during sleep.
Depending on the severity of sleep apnea, the person may stop breathing for ten to thirty sounds at a time. When breathing stops, the person is aroused from deep sleep. The individual may not awake completely, but their sleep cycle is disrupted.
