SLEEP AND METABOLISM
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. These pauses, known as apneas, can occur numerous times throughout the night and may last for seconds to minutes, leading to disrupted sleep patterns and decreased oxygen levels in the blood. There are two primary types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), caused by a blockage of the airway, and central sleep apnea (CSA), resulting from the brain’s inability to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
Common symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Left untreated, sleep apnea can significantly impact overall health and increase the risk of serious medical conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Early detection and intervention are crucial for managing sleep apnea effectively and reducing the risk of associated health complications.
