What is Sleep Apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that is characterized by repetitive episodes of obstruction to air flow into the lungs. The level of obstruction is usually at the level of the soft palate, however the obstruction can be at different levels in the throat.

The oropharynx is the principle site of obstruction in the upper airway, in people with obstruction sleep apnea syndrome. The soft palate can be enlarged, thickened, and elongated. The uvula can be swollen. The base of the tongue can protrude backwards and block the airway. The posterior pharyngeal lining can go into folds of redundant tissue. The pillars of fauces may be prominent and close to the midline. The tonsils can also be enlarged causing obstruction to airflow. Learn more about sleep apnea »

What is Narcolepsy?

Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that causes excessive sleepiness. This condition usually develops in younger individuals and is lifelong. It is also associated with cataplexy (sudden attacks of muscle weakness when the person has a strong emotion), sleep paralysis, and hypnagognic hallucinations (vivid dreams that occur as the person falls asleep).
