Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea disrupts sleep with interrupted breathing. In obstructive sleep apnea, soft tissues collapse onto the throat, obstructing the airway and causing struggles to breathe. Without treatment, it can lead to damage throughout the body and brain.
Common Causes
of Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is known to affect both children and adults, but it most commonly occurs in individuals who:
- Are overweight or obese
- Regularly consume alcohol
- Smoke or use tobacco products
- Have a family history of sleep apnea
- Possess a narrow airway
- Experience increased fat accumulation around the neck
- Have enlarged tonsils or adenoids
Recognizing Sleep Apnea Symptoms

Understanding Sleep Apnea Types
Sleep apnea comes in three main forms: central sleep apnea (CSA), complex sleep apnea, and the most prevalent, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): The most common type affecting millions, OSA occurs when soft oral tissues collapse onto the throat, causing a blockage. This leads to interrupted sleep and ceased breathing.
- Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): In CSA, the brain fails to signal the body to breathe during sleep, resulting in instances of stopped breathing throughout the night.
- Complex Sleep Apnea: This type combines features of both central and obstructive sleep apnea.
