Obstructive sleep apnoea is the most common sleep related breathing disorder. characterised by recurrent episodes of complete or partial obstruction of a person’s airway during sleep. This can lead to an “apnoea”. an episode of reduced or absent breathing during sleep. These periods can last for 10 seconds or more during which three to four breaths can be missed. This can result in a fall in blood oxygen levels or a disruption in sleep or both and as such. those affected are often tired during the day. Sleep apnoea can affect anybody. and most people will experience such an episode at some point in their life. However. when apnoeas become frequent in a person’s life. so much so that it affects their waking day. this is when it becomes a disorder known as “obstructive” sleep apnoea. While the thought of involuntarily stopping breathing while you sleep may sound scary. most individuals with OSA are unaware of disturbances in breathing while sleeping. even after awakening. Symptoms can be present for years or even decades. and could be so prolonged that the person they affect simply becomes accustomed to them and ceases to question them. Many have the issue first brought to their attention by a partner or family member who may have noticed their disrupted breathing they may have observed an individual snoring or appearing to stop breathing. gasp. or choke in their sleep. Sleep apnoea is easily treated. and taking steps as simple as avoiding alcohol. losing weight or engaging in physical training can often see a marked improvement in the condition.
