Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that may lead to repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions, known as apneas, occur when the airway becomes blocked or collapses, leading to decreased oxygen levels in the blood. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), affects millions of Americans—many of whom experts believe remain undiagnosed. Left untreated, sleep apnea can significantly impact your quality of life and may increase the risk of severe health complications.
