Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. If you feel tired even after a full night’s rest, or if your partner or roommate complains about your loud snoring, you might have sleep apnea.

Obstructive sleep apnea:

The most common type, occurring when the muscles in your throat relax too much.

Central sleep apnea:

This happens when your brain fails to send the correct signals to the muscles that control breathing.

Complex sleep apnea syndrome:

This refers to a combination of both obstructive and central sleep apnea.
