Putting Sleep Apnoea to Rest

Sleep apnoea occurs when one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths occur while a person sleeps. The pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes, and can happen more than 30 times an hour, according to the NIH. It is typical for normal breathing to start again with a loud snort or choking sound. The disorder is life-threatening.
