Sleep Apnea
Breathing and sleeping are two automatic functions that a healthy person usually takes for granted, without thinking about it too much.
However, respiratory abnormalities during sleep are common in the population. They can lead to significant health problems and have personal and social consequences. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common form of apnea. Central apnea, mixed apnea and high upper airway resistance (HRVAS) are other forms of sleep breathing abnormalities, however they are less common.

Sleep apnea is a serious pathology that causes repetitive arrests of respiratory flow during sleep. These pauses in breathing, or "apnea", last about 10 to 30 seconds and can occur several times during the night.
