Do people with sleep apnea always snore at night?
Yes they do. People with Sleep Apnea often have a decrease in stage REM therefore they may not dream as often. REM sleep is often considered our dream stage. It is also our restorative sleep. Just because you don't remember your dreams doesn't mean that you did not dream. If you wake during REM stage you will remember what you were just dreaming. If you do not wake during REM but wake in a different stage of sleep (example stage 3) then you probably won't remember having a dream.

What are some different types of sleep disorders?
Three common sleep disorders are sleep apnea, night-terrors and somnambulism. Sleep apnea is a sudden arrest of breathing during sleep. Night terrors occur as a result of autonomic arousal during sleep, often resulting in tachycardia and excessive sweating; contrary to popular belief, it does not necessarily involve disturbing dream content. Somnambulism is commonly referred to as "sleep walking", and occurs during stages 3 or 4 of the sleep cycle. There are three basic types of sleep disorders: those caused by the sufferer, those caused by something in the environment of the sufferer, and those caused by something that affects the sufferer's circadian rhythms. Simple insomnia, an ongoing inability to fall asleep, is experienced by many people at some time in their lives. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when someone stops breathing for repeated, short moments during sleep. Toddlers often suffer from night terrors, and usually outgrow these as they get older.
