Sleep Fragmentation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]

Sleep, 1996
Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with fragmentation of sleep due to the repeated occurrence of end-apneic arousal throughout the night. Arousals are provoked by stimuli generated during upper airway obstruction. Mechanoreceptor stimuli produced during obstructed inspiratory efforts appear to play a major role in mediating the end-apneic arousal ...
