Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by pausing in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep, and is most often caused by a collapsed or blocked airway. Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes, and can occur 30 or more times per night. Sleep apnea is typically a chronic disorder that disrupts sleeping patterns, leading to excessive daytime sleepiness. A CPAP machine increases air pressure in the throat to prevent the airway from collapsing during breathing.
