Learn About Sleep Apnea Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder which triggers pauses in breathing during sleep. These episodes, called apneas, last long enough so one or more breaths are missed, and occur repeatedly throughout sleep. Sleep apnea is diagnosed with an overnight sleep test called a polysomnogram. Often, individuals with sleep apnea are not aware of having difficulty breathing. Because of this, sleep apnea is frequently recognized by a spouse or sleep-mate who witnesses sleep apnea episodes. Sometimes sleep apnea is suspected because of its effects on the body copy. Symptoms may be present for years or even decades without identification, during which time the sufferer may become conditioned to the daytime sleepiness and fatigue associated with significant levels of sleep disturbance. How Sleep Apnea is Diagnosed Speak with your health care professional if you suspect you might have sleep apnea or any other sleep disorder. You will most likely be asked to keep a sleep diary for a few nights. A sleep diary tracks your sleep patterns and behaviors to allow your physician to get a clear picture of how your sleep is being affected. If necessary, your health care professional may schedule a sleep test overnight in a sleep center. Most sleep centers are set up much like hotels, with private rooms and baths. You will be observed while sleeping – using cameras as well as monitors attached to your body. A test called a polysomnogram, performed at sleep centers, is the definitive test to diagnose sleep apnea. Visit - www.offersking.com/health/sleep-disorder-alliance/
