Sleep and breathing

Breathing should be quiet and regular during sleep. Loud snoring, choking arousals and daytime sleepiness can point to sleep apnoea.

Sleep apnoea is associated with cardiovascular strain in many studies, which is one reason evaluation matters.

A sleep study is arranged after history and examination, not automatically from a web form.
