睡眠障礙問題於全球盛行，來自睡眠呼吸中止因素則占了不少比例，而阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症(OSA)為最常見的一種型態。研究顯示，患有OSA的人口全球約有一億人，而有高達八成未經診斷與治療。
阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症(OSA)是一種與睡眠相關的呼吸障礙疾病。發生於睡眠時，舌頭或喉嚨後方的軟組織鬆弛塌陷，造成上呼吸道狹窄或阻塞，減少空氣進入肺部，進而導致呼吸暫停。當呼吸中止造成缺氧時，腦部藉由喚醒人體，以回復正常呼吸。患者經常因呼吸中止從睡夢中醒來，醒後回復正常呼吸，如此反反覆覆每晚可達數十至數百次不等，嚴重干擾睡眠，造成白天精神不濟、無法專心，或是極度嗜睡。
睡眠呼吸中止症未接受治療可能造成之影響：
-
高血壓
-
心血管疾病
-
中風
-
糖尿病
-
憂鬱症
-
癌症
阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症(OSA)常見症狀：
-
鼾聲如雷或打鼾頻繁
-
旁人觀察到睡眠時呼吸中斷無聲現象
-
睡眠中突然喘氣或大聲吸氣
-
白天嗜睡或精神不濟
