• Obstructive Sleep Apnea – those who suffer from this type of sleep apnea will awaken with a sudden gasping or choking noise. This experience is not remembered and victims believe they had a full night’s sleep. An airway obstruction reduces brain oxygen levels until the brain arouses you from sleep to open the airway. • Central Sleep Apnea – victims of central sleep apnea are aroused from sleep due to the brain failing to regulate breathing muscles. Men and women who suffer from this form of sleep apnea remember waking. • Complex Sleep Apnea – a combination of central and obstructive sleep apnea.
