Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that literally causes you to stop breathing. Some people can stop breathing for around 20 seconds repeatedly and in severe cases, more than once in the same night.

People who have a high risk of suffering from this problem are men.  Additionally, it might manifest in elderly individuals, obese people, and smokers, and sometimes family history.
