Slumbered Sleep

3.2
SLEEP APNEA
Sleep is just as crucial to health as a balanced diet and regular
exercise. One can experience both mental and physical
effects from insomnia. When compared to those who are getting
enough sleep, those who suffer from insomnia report a decreased
quality of life. Another sleep disorder that heavily interferes
with sleep is sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a severe sleep
disorder that develops when a person's breathing is disrupted
while they are asleep, as mentioned as one of the causes of
insomnia. Untreated sleep apnea patients continuously stop
breathing while they sleep, sometimes hundreds of times per
night.
