Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious disorder that causes your breathing to stop repeatedly while you sleep. These breathing pauses or "apneas" usually last 10 to 30 seconds and can happen many times throughout the night.
What is Sleep Apnea?
In Canada, in addition to those who reported having a diagnosis of sleep apnea, more than one in four adults (26%) reported symptoms and risk factors associated with a high risk of developing or developing Obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can affect men, women and children of all ages and most people do not know that they suffer from sleep apnea. It is a serious problem, but easily identifiable and treatable, when diagnosed.
