| Description: |
Sleep apnoea occurs when the walls of the throat come together or collapse during sleep, blocking off the upper part of the airway. After a few seconds, the sleeper is aroused to a subconscious level, makes a strong breathing effort to open the upper airway and restarts breathing. A person with this disorder might have a sleep disturbance hundreds of times every night.
