For many individuals, a good night’s sleep remains elusive due to a condition known as sleep apnea Montreal, QC.
Sleep is an essential part of our daily routines. It is during this time that our bodies rejuvenate, repair, and restore themselves in preparation for the day ahead.
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. These breathing interruptions can last for a few seconds to minutes and can occur numerous times throughout the night, disrupting the quality of sleep. It affects approximately 20 million adults in the United States alone, making it a prevalent yet often undiagnosed condition.
There are three main types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea (CSA), and complex sleep apnea syndrome (also known as treatment-emergent central sleep apnea). OSA is the most common type, caused by the relaxation of the muscles in the throat, leading to a blockage of the airway. CSA is less common and occurs when the brain fails to transmit proper signals to the muscles responsible for controlling breathing. Complex sleep apnea syndrome is a combination of both OSA and CSA.
