Abstract
Although the description of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) appeared as far back as 1877 (Lavie, 1984), clinicians first began recognizing it as a serious problem only some thirty years ago (Guilleminault and Dement, 1978). SDB is described as respiratory cessation (apnea) or a decrease in the amplitude of respiration (hypopnea) during sleep. Clinically, there are often hundreds of apneas and hypopneas seen during the night, accompanied by drops in oxygen saturation levels. The apneas and hypopneas are followed by brief arousals (awakenings) that allow respiration to resume. Given this pattern, many clinical patients are unable to sleep and breathe at the same time.
