A patient with sleep apnea stops breathing in sleep for a lot of times, let's say...200 times. And with every pause in breathing ( sometimes 40 seconds or more), your oxygen level from your blood drops and this can affect your brain and your heart. In a reduced oxygen environment, your brain will have the same situation. The level of oxygen from your blood will be very low and it can affect your health. Hello Asker P,

I think of it as elephant sitting on your neck. Your neck is so fat that it just collapses on the windpipe (trachea) and you wake up due to hypoxia. Brain doesnt like hypoxia. There is a difference between oxygenation and ventilation. I guess, sleeping in a reduced oxygen concentration… would be close enough. I think of it as elephant sitting on your neck.
