Sleep Apnea Information
Condition and Treatments
Sleep apnea is a condition where the individual ceases breathing up to 100 times each night
for a period up to 1 minute while sleeping. There are two types of this sleeping disorder obstructive apnia and central
apnia. Central sleep apnea is a rare condition where the brain does not inform or tell the body that it needs to breathe while sleeping.
Obstructive sleep apnea is where blockage of the airway occurs in the upper throat area while the
person is in slumber. Individuals who experience certain indicators of apnea such as loud snoring and inappropriate drowsiness should be more
informed and get sleep apnea information from a qualified medical professional. They will inform them or provide information on treatments
options that will likely include an overnight stay at a sleep research facility.
Information on sleep apnea is available from a qualified medical professional and from sleep centers which are becoming more common in urban
areas. Individuals who seek to be more informed on apnia are generally doing so in response to spousal pressure due to concern or loud snoring
that interrupts their slumber. Snoring is a tell tale sign of the disorder. Other reasons to tell yourself to be informed or to inform yourself
more may include inappropriate drowsiness at work or while driving. In addition information is becoming more widely available on the internet as
well as in the main stream media who are publishing more frequent articles in order to inform their readers on inproving their slumber.
