Sleep Apnea
Restless Leg Syndrome(RLS) and Periodic limb movement Disorder
REM sleep behavior Disorder
Sleep ApneaSleep ApneaSleep Apnea is interrupted breathing during sleep.
It usually occurs because of a mechanical problem in the windpipe.
But it also indicates a neurological disorder involving nerve cells (neurons).

It usually occurs because of a mechanical problem in the windpipe.
But it also indicates a neurological disorder involving nerve cells (neurons).
ProcessProcess1) As people age, muscle tone
relaxes, which may cause the windpipe to collapse.
2) This condition is called Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
3) It results in loud snoring and blocked air flow through the windpipe.

3) It results in loud snoring and blocked air flow through the windpipe.
4) It lasts from 10 to 60 seconds.
5) People may be gasping or snorting.
6) And then the brain quickly reacts to the sudden lack of oxygen, the muscles tighten.

Why?Why?Narrow nasal passages, enlarged
tonsils, and obesity are factors that
may contribute to obstructive sleep

tobacco, or sedatives.

ResultResultThe sleep cycle can be interrupted as many as 100 times a night.
Every time the windpipe closes, the brain is deprived of oxygen.

This lack of oxygen eventually can cause problems morning headaches and decreased mental function.

In a person with REM sleep behavior disorder, these signals translate into images that make up dreams.
If the signals are interfered with, the person may physically act out dreams during sleep. For example, if a patient with REM sleep behavior disorder dreams about running, he or she might actually get up and run.
As a result of this condition, patients may injure themselves or others.
BUT !!! REM sleep behavior disorder is rare.
