Many million adults all around the world experience Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) nightime.
Usually they can not know, because these are a hidden events, but sleeping, health, and quality of life are strongly affected by these.
Snoring, Irregular breathing.
Breathing can pause many times for some seconds, or some tens of seconds, with some break up breaths in between.
Anyway sleep quality became poor, moving from deep sleep to a light sleep.
This defective breath can lead to a lower oxigen level in blood, too.
Rest is not satisfactory, and daytime they feel tired, needing to stop and sleep, and risk of dozing off is very high for them
This is mostly dangerous for car drivers, truck drivers, and coache drivers.

Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Sleep Apnea.
There are different kinds of Sleep Apnea, and different reasons for each.
Central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea can happen together (Mixed Sleep Apnea) or one by one.
OSA
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type. The lungs strive to breath, but airway collapses on sleeping time, and breathing gets messy and unsatisfactory.
Snoring is frequent with obstructive apnea.
In Ipoapnea sindrome airways may get narrow, lowering breathing airflow, and can vibrate, causing snoring. Usually oxigen level in blood get lower, but does not drop.
In Obstructive Sleep Apnea sindrome, airways may fully collapse, and breathing comes to stop, despite efforts to breathe.
CSA
Central Sleep Apnea
Central apnea is less frequent but can be very dangerous. It happens when brain control of breathing muscles fails to follow a good timing.
It is a central nervous system disorder. Snoring is unusual with central apnea.
Thought airway stays open, the body fails to have normal automatic breathing.
Oxigen level in blood can drop.
Some medical conditions or some pharmaceutical drugs can foster central apnea.
