Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder marked by pauses in breathing that disrupt restful sleep, causing significant impacts on health and well-being. These interruptions, known as apneas, may last seconds to over a minute, often occurring multiple times per hour and preventing deep, restorative sleep. Sleep apnea is associated with symptoms like loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and excessive daytime drowsiness. If left untreated, it can contribute to serious health risks, including high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and memory issues. Recognizing the symptoms and seeking timely treatment for sleep apnea is essential to improving sleep quality and safeguarding long-term health.
