Definition
Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing stops for more than 10 seconds during sleep. Sleep apnea is a major, though often unrecognized, cause of daytime sleepiness. It can have serious negative effects on a person’s quality of life, and is thought to be considerably underdiagnosed in the
United States.
