Sleep apnea or sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder characterised by
pauses in breathing during sleep. These episodes, called apneas
(literally, "without breath"), each last long enough so one or more
breaths are missed, and occur repeatedly throughout sleep. There
are two distinct forms of sleep apnea: Central and Obstructive.
Breathing is interrupted by the lack of effort in Central Sleep
Apnea, but from a physical block to airflow despite effort in
Obstructive Sleep Apnea. In Mixed Sleep Apnea, both types of events
occur. Regardless of type, the individual affected with sleep apnea
is rarely (if ever) aware of having difficulty breathing, even upon
awakening. Sleep apnea is recognised as a problem by others
witnessing the individual during episodes, or is suspected because
of its effects on the body (sequelae). This volume examines
leading-edge research important for an understanding of the field.
