The inability to breathe temporarily is called apnea. Periods of apnea during sleep, particularly those causing intermittent, frequently subconscious awakenings, is called Sleep Apnea. Sleep apnea comes in various forms. The most common being Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This is caused by an obstruction of the hypopharynx and glottis during sleep - usually the soft tissues of the mouth, soft palate, and throat relax during sleep and occlude the airway. Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) is rarer and caused by neurologic, toxicologic, and metabolic disorders.
