The Sleep Apnea Pillow is designed especially for the over 71 million people who snore when sleeping and suffer from an obstructive form of sleep apnea. Sleep Apnea is the name given to the condition which causes short cessation of breath while sleeping. This cessation of breath may be as short as a few seconds or more and sometimes it can be for as long as 60 seconds. This happens mainly when a person with this condition sleeps on their back.
Because of shortness of breath due to the airway becoming obstructed, the suction this creates while breathing will cause the softer tissue of the airway to collapse inwards and to touch each other. As the tissues touch and vibrate, the snoring sound is created. Sleep Apnea is the condition that results from the airways being completely blocked as the soft tissues have collapsed instead of vibrating together. Blockage is made much worse by poor muscle tone, fatty deposits and congestion in the throat makes snoring worse and can result in the snorer making so much noise that he/she wakes themselves and their partner up. So this condition not only affects the sufferer but also the person having to listen to them. This is not the only trouble this causes, with the snorer's airways blocked, they fail to breathe properly, depriving the brain of oxygen, so they do not get a proper nights sleep, tossing and turning and feeling tired in the morning. This is also known to strain the heart tremendously, and can be fatal in the worst cases where the snorer might suffocate.
