Sleep Apnea
Captions available
The idea
Sleep apnea is a disorder in which breathing stops repeatedly during sleep, producing brief arousals the sleeper does not recall.
In practice
A patient reports sleeping nine hours and feeling exhausted, and a recording shows dozens of interruptions hourly.
Where people slip
The complaint is daytime exhaustion, not disturbed sleep. Patients usually do not know their sleep is broken.
