Types of Sleep Apnea Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type of

sleep apnea. It occurs when the soft tissue in the back of your throat relaxes during sleep and blocks the airway, often causing you to snore loudly.

Central sleep apnea is a much less common type of sleep apnea that involves the central nervous system, occurring when the brain fails to signal the muscles that control breathing. People with central sleep apnea seldom snore.

Complex sleep apnea is a combination of obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea.

Signs and symptoms People have issues with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)

and impaired alertness. Common effects of sleep apnea include daytime fatigue, a

slower reaction time, and vision problems. OSA may increase risk for driving accidents and work-

related accidents. If not treated, one has an increased risk of other health

problems such as diabetes. Even death could occur from untreated OSA due to lack of oxygen to the body.
