Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Sleep apnea is a condition that results in irregular breathing during sleep. Each temporary cessation of breath is called an apnea and is caused by the tongue muscle loosens and obstructs the airway. The body then attempts to breathe through the obstructed airway which leads to snoring.
