What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by the frequent stopping and starting of breathing during sleep.Signs and Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Since sleep apnea happens while a person is sleeping, it’s most often detected when a person’s partner, roommate, or children tell them that they are snoring loudly and that their breathing stops in the night. If you live alone, however, some daytime signs and symptoms could indicate a problem with sleep apnea. These include:- Gasping for air in the night
- Waking with a dry mouth or sore throat
- Frequent headaches and migraines, especially in the morning
- Insomnia (trouble staying asleep)
- Hypersomnia (daytime sleepiness or trouble staying awake)
- Inability to focus during the day
