Obstructive sleep apnea, also recognized as OSA, is the most common of three types of sleep
apnea (apnea means without breath). ... A soft tissue in the rear of the throat collapses and closes the throat during sleep, often for
a minute or longer. When this happens the brain will wake the individual up from his sleep in
order to continue breathing. ... Usually the individual is not aware of his daytime sleepiness or how long his
nighttime sleep has been interrupted. ... A typical individual with any type of sleep apnea is usually an overweight male who
is over 40 years of age.
