Obstructive sleep apnea is harming the brain, a new study finds, giving new urgency to recognizing and treating the disorder.
People often don’t know they have sleep apnea, Rosenzweig said. They typically seek help only when their partners tell them there’s a problem, such as snoring.
Sleep apnea can be worse for health than insomnia because it can make it hard for the brain to get to deep sleep, said Dr. Joel Salinas, a behavioral neurologist and researcher at NYU Langone Health and the chief medical officer at Isaac Health in New York., including light and deep sleep and rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep, which is when dreaming occurs.
“People with obstructive sleep apnea don’t spend much time in stage 3, instead waking up in stage 2 and then going back to stage 1 again," he said. The most common is the continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, machine, which keeps airways open during sleep.
