What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep Apnea is characterised by frequent and brief periods when breathing stops during sleep. The most common form of sleep apnea is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

Normally during sleep the muscles which control the tongue and soft palate hold the airway open.

If these muscles relax the airway becomes narrower which causes snoring and breathing difficulties. If the muscles relax too much, the airway can become completely blocked, preventing breathing. This is Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Once the airway has closed, the brain realises there is a lack of oxygen and alerts the body to wake up. Though the sufferer is often not aware of it, this cycle can occur several hundred times a night, severely disrupting sleep.
