Sleep Disorders Disrupt Deep Sleep in Millions of Americans
For many, this sleep disorder can go undiagnosed for years until it eventually starts contributing to other health problems, such as hypertension, depression, high blood pressure, fatigue, and increased risk of stroke/heart attack.
There are two types of sleep apnea: central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea.
Central sleep apnea occurs when a person’s brain fails to properly signal their muscles that control breathing, so their breathing stops and starts repeatedly during sleep.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea. It often develops because one’s tongue or the soft tissue in the back of their throat tends to relax during sleep, which can restrict the airway to the lungs. As the airway becomes partially or fully blocked, breathing stops briefly until the person wakes up and makes adjustments to resume breathing. These repeated awakenings disrupt the normal sleep cycle, but are often not recalled the next day. As a result, the person wakes up not knowing why they feel so tired, and continue to feel fatigued and sleepy throughout the day.
