Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

The sleep apnea syndrome is a disease connected with sleep but its consequences remain even in lucidity. A typical daily sign is the excessive

somnolence, especially during monotonous activities and microsleeps. At night the symptoms are snoring and apneas during sleep. The

consequences of untreated sleep apnea syndrome are not only medical (significant impact on cardiovascular system) but also socio-economic

– microsleeps may cause traffic accidents in drivers. Therefore a targeted investigation for this disease must be applied.

Keywords: sleep apnea syndrome, snoring, microsleep, hypersomnia, therapy with continuous positive airway pressure
