What is Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that occurs when a person's breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep. The most common form of sleep apnea is obstructive, which occurs when the muscles at the back of the throat fail to keep the airway open. This can lead to snoring, gasping, or choking during sleep, disrupting sleep, and leading to fatigue and other health issues.
