Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder that results in a disruptive sleeping pattern. If you have sleep apnea, you may experience pauses in breathing while you sleep, until your brain registers elevated levels of carbon dioxide, signaling you to wake up and breathe. You may wake up choking or gasping for air. You may be completely unaware of this, but there are symptoms that indicate that you are suffering from sleep apnea. This can happen 5 times an hour, or even a hundred times during a full night of sleep (or lack thereof). As a result, you may be unfocused during the day, agitated, irritable, or likely to fall asleep when doing mundane activities, like watching TV or reading.
If you have already been diagnosed with sleep apnea, you may be living with the pain of a CPAP machine. The noise often keeps you awake, as well as anyone in the room with you attempting to sleep. You are restricted to sleeping in tight range of the noisy machine, and the mask is simply uncomfortable. For many patients suffering from sleep apnea, the CPAP simply doesn’t work!
