Sleep apnea is a common disorder in which the person repeatedly stops breathing during sleep. It causes interruptions to your sleep throughout the night. It disrupts the quality of your sleep, which can have a tremendous impact on your physical, mental, and emotional health if left untreated. If unable to achieve a deep sleep or REM, your body won’t be able to rejuvenate. A good night’s sleep is a crucial part of being healthy.

When you sleep, your body goes through different levels of rest, from light to deeper phases. When we are in a depth of slumber called REM or rapid eye movement, our bodies go through a restoration and healing process. This “rapid eye movement” or REM phase of sleep is critical to our health, helping our body rejuvenate.
