Nightly Apneic Episodes
A person with sleep apnea may have few or many apneic episodes during a night´s sleep. 35 individuals suffering from sleep apnea studied at Stanford University´s Sleep Disorders Center recorded from 68 to 682 apneic episodes during a seven hour sleep period. The length of time that each apnea lasted ranged from 10 to 190 seconds. The latter figure is not a misprint: some individuals sometimes stopped breathing for as long as three minutes and ten seconds!
