What is Sleep Apnoea?

Sleep apnoea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep. It can cause daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, mood disturbances, and other health problems. Snoring is a common problem that can be a sign of underlying sleep apnoea.

Three types of sleep apnoea

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)

    This is the more common condition, where your throat and airway collapses during sleep, blocking air from reaching your lungs
  • Central Sleep Apnoea (CSA)

    This is a less common condition, where the brain centre that controls breathing does not properly send signals to your respiratory muscle, causing pauses in breathing
  • Mixed Sleep Apnoea

    Where there is a component of both obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnoea
