1 Introduction to Sleep Apnea
While conducting research, I stumbled upon something I had never encountered before in nearly four decades of life. Apnea is the medical term for sleep deprivation caused by interruptions in breathing during sleep.
2 What is Sleep Apnea?
When a person's breathing stops during sleep, it is called apnea. This condition can occur for a variety of reasons and can have significant health consequences.
3 How Sleep Works
Sleep is characterized by many ups and downs. While you are in deep sleep, your blood pressure, body temperature, and breathing rate rise and fall regularly. This is a natural process essential for recovery and overall well-being.
