Sleep Apnea and Neurological Disorders

Sleep apnea is a condition characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and various health issues. It can cause loud snoring, gasping for air, and excessive daytime fatigue. Neurological disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the brain and nervous system, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy. These disorders can influence sleep patterns and might contribute to sleep apnea. Poor sleep may exacerbate neurological symptoms, while sleep apnea can worsen overall brain health, creating a complex relationship between sleep and neurological well-being.
