What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea (or sleep apnoea) is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep.

Various degrees of sleep apnea may also

be associated with snoring.

The excess tissues of the soft palate coupled with the narrowing due to muscle relaxation during sleep cause a stoppage of breathing (choking) which can last for ten seconds or more till the body reacts, usually with a snort, as the soft palate is forcibly pushed off the breathing tubes.
