Sleep apnea is a sleep related disorder causing snoring problems during which breathing stops intermittently causing disturbance in sleep rhythm of the sufferer.
A recently conducted survey, which polled people from various nations, pointed out that it was that category with those facing marital discords and even single parents who were the most prominent that suffered from disorders such sleep apnea or severe snoring.
Sleep apnea is not a viral infection or a result of some atypical disease-causing growth.
It is an inherent disorder like diabetes and the problem in sleep apnea results due to the airway being temporarily shut and breathing is stopped for a few seconds.
The pause or apnea can last between 5 to 10 seconds.
Studies suggest that stress can also cause apnea and in most cases, the reasons were linked to relationship worries especially in women, heath concerns or financial worries.
Children can also be affected with apnea though not much like adults and research points out that their poor performance in school could have its roots in sleep apnea disorder.
Kids with sleep apnea problems perform badly in school due to the fatigue caused by it.
Every one kid from among the five under-achieving kids in schools in the US suffered from this disorder.
A majority of experts in the medical field believe that stress, smoking, depression, substance abuse, alcohol abuse, obesity and general lack of fitness levels among the populace are all the foremost contributing factors for apnea.
Recent studies have demonstrated that an efficient exercise program and modifications in life style can dramatically lower apnea occurrences, or else surgery is the only other effective treatment to overcome this health trauma causing sleep disorder.
A person suffering from apnea is the last to get to know about it.
It is in many cases, his bed partner or his family who makes him aware of its presence in him and cajoles him to seek treatment for it.
Mild apnea can, however, be managed with some lifestyle changes.
