Mens Sleep Problems-Sleep Apnea

One very irritating sleep problem for men and their families is sleep apnea. Though this is not one of the most common mens sleep problems, it is nevertheless important. Sleep apnea is when the tissue lining the top of the trachea contracts during sleep, closing off a person's airway and constricting breathing. This will lead to the person usually waking up and disrupting their sleep.

Except in the most serious cases, sleep apnea is just a nuisance, but a particularly aggravating one. Imagine being awakened a dozen times or more through a night, and knowing this will happen every night. Doesn't sound like much fun does it? In 1981, a cure for most sufferers was found called Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP).
