3. Sleep Apnea Syndrome
 Sleep apnea (AP-ne-ah) is a common disorder in which you have one or more
pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep.
 Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes. They may occur
30 times or more an hour. Typically, normal breathing then starts again,
sometimes with a loud snort or choking sound.
 Sleep apnea usually is a chronic (ongoing) condition that disrupts your sleep.
When your breathing pauses or becomes shallow, you’ll often move out of deep
sleep and into light sleep.
 As a result, the quality of your sleep is poor, which makes you tired during the
day. Sleep apnea is a leading cause of excessive daytime sleepiness

5. Treatment by CPAP
 Continuous Positive Airflow Pressure (CPAP) is the most common treatment for
moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. The CPAP device is a mask-like
machine that covers your nose and mouth, providing a constant stream of air
that keeps your breathing passages open while you sleep.
