FAQ
What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes your breathing to stop while you sleep– often as frequently as 30 times each hour. These brief periods of apnea signal the brain to wake you up to restart your breathing.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) results when the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses, closing off your airway.
Central Sleep Apnea
Central sleep apnea (CSA) is caused by misfiring signals from the brain. Your muscles aren’t being told to breath.
Complex Sleep Apnea
Complex sleep apnea is a combination with both obstructive and central causes.
