What is sleep apnea?

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing throughout the sleep cycle.

These interruptions, called apneas, are caused by the collapse of soft tissue in the airway,
which prevents oxygen from reaching the lungs.

Sleep apnea disrupts the sleep cycle and can dramatically impact energy, mental performance, and long-term health — but there are effective treatments available to counteract these symptoms1.
