Sleep Apnea is becoming more and more common today. It is a sleeping disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing while you are asleep. These pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes and can happen anywhere from 5 to 30 times in an hour. Normal breathing starts again with a loud cough or choke. It is a scarey experience for the partner laying beside you, who learns to wait for your next breath. Sleep apnea is usually a chronic condition, resulting in poor sleep quality, making you tired during the day.. Sleepwalking 
People sleepwalking are in a state of low consciousness. They perform such activities like sitting up in bed or walking to the bathroom, etc. Sometimes on the news, we hear of incidents that children sleep walk their way outside and get lost. When the parents become aware of the situation, the child has no memory of this experience.Stages of Sleep There are two general states of sleep: 1) rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and 2) non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. NREM sleep is further subdivided into stages. Rapid eye movements are observed during REM sleep. People who are awakened during REM sleep often report that they were dreaming at the time. About 20% to 25% of sleep time is REM sleep; in infants it can comprise about 40%. NREM sleep occurs in 3 stages, according to the pattern of brain electrical activity: N1 Sleep Stageis when you transition from wakefulness to deeper sleep. When this is happening, people do not always perceive themselves as asleep. N2 Sleep Stage is a true sleep state. This should be for about 40 to 50% of the sleep time. N3 Sleep Stage is the deep sleep, delta sleep or slow wave sleep. Four or Five of these cycles occur during each night’s sleep. Disruption of this entire sleep cycle are believed to account for the various types of sleep disorders. IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP!
