  1. Home Sleep Test For Sleep Apnea Sleep apnoea (sleep-disordered breathing) is a serious and common sleep disorder affecting about 20% of men and 10% of women. Its name comes from a Greek word, apnea, meaning “without breath.” People with sleep apnoea stop breathing briefly many times during the night. The breathing pauses last at least 10 seconds, and there may be 30 or more pauses per hour. The main symptoms of sleep apnoea are persistent loud snoring at night and daytime sleepiness. Another symptom is frequent long pauses in breathing during sleep, followed by choking and gasping for breath. People with sleep apnoea don’t get enough restful sleep, and their daytime performance is often seriously affected. Sleep apnoea may also lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. However, it can be diagnosed and treated. www.homesleep.com.au 03 9908 5800
