📋Overview
Sleep Apnea involves frequent pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep, which often results in a transition from deep sleep to light sleep. This condition can lead to significant daytime fatigue and may affect overall health due to the recurring drops in blood oxygen levels. Common symptoms include loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and excessive daytime sleepiness.
