In this case, there is cessation of breathing, blood oxygen concentration decreases the signal goes to the brain, which "makes" people wake up. And these stops breathing and awakening can be from 10 to 60 overnight.

Daytime fatigue - the syndrome stops breathing

That is, for four hours every night, a person is, we can say in a state of clinical death - notice the doctors. This is very dangerous, because, firstly, it is possible to die during sleep. Secondly, in this state the brain is almost no rest. A man wakes up in the morning tired, "broken." Thirdly, the constant swings of breath - not breath very harmful to both the brain and the heart. They cause early heart attacks, problems with impotence in males, because sex hormones are produced during deep sleep.
