There are two primary types of sleep apnea, central and obstructive. The more common of the two, obstructive sleep apnea, associated with obesity, occurs during REM sleep.
Central Sleep Apnea is a disorder in which your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during your sleep. Central Sleep Apnea is less common than Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea cause when soft tissues relax and collapse block breathing and thus preventing inhaled air from reaching the lungs Next Central sleep apnea cause when brain doesn't send signals through lungs however when breathing passage is open it would not reach air sacs called alveoli thus leading to falling asleep
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
For moderate to severe sleep apnea, the most successful treatment is nighttime use of a ventilator, called a CPAP machine. used to treat both obstructive and central sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is when people stop breathing while sleeping. Central is when the problem is that the brain is not sending the signal. You forget to breath when asleep. The other type is obstructive which is when the muscles of the throat collapse and close the airway when they relaxeduring deep stages of sleep.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing is obstructed during sleep. This causes "apnea," or a brief cessation of breathing. Because you've stopped breathing, you'll partially wake up, disrupting your sleep.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. This is the most common form of breathing-related sleep disorder
Chronic Obstructive Airways DiseaseChronic Obstructive Airways Disease
It is found primarily in obese people.
No, the lack of air flow makes it relatively impossible to get deep sleep. You should have a sleep study done to find out if your sleep apnea is obstructive.
