Sleep apnea

Sleep apnea is a medical condition common to snorers. A snorer stops breathing momentarily during sleep due to blockage in his throat. The sufferers usually resume breathing within a few seconds. Such apnea can occur repeatedly during sleep. Frequent apnea would result in shortage of oxygen supply to the brain and in turn result in drowsiness, fatigue, memory loss, short attention span, etc. during day time hours. Serious apnea may cause brain damage or death.
