Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that occurs when breathing stops and starts repeatedly during sleep. This can cause you to stop breathing for ten seconds or more at a time throughout the night. These pauses in breathing cause your body to wake up just enough to start breathing again. You may not even remember these awakenings in the morning, but they will disrupt your sleep and leave you feeling exhausted the next day.
Sleep apnea is most common in adults over the age of 40, however it can affect anyone at any age. It is estimated that more than 18 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea.
