Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing temporarily stops or is disrupted during the night. When you experience this, your brain automatically wakes you from your slumber. You might let out a loud snore, a snort or make a gasping sound in order to breathe again.
In women, snoring can be much less pronounced so it’s not as easy to tell from this symptom alone. Women are more likely to experience daytime sleepiness, impaired focus and mood changes.
