What is Sleep Apnea?
Loud, constant snoring can indicate a potentially life-threatening disorder called sleep apnea. The word "apnea" is derived from Greek to mean "without breath."
An estimated 5 in 100 people, typically overweight middle-aged men, suffer from sleep apnea. A person with sleep apnea stops breathing repeatedly while sleeping, anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes.
