Episodes were predominantly central, but obstructive and mixed events were also observed. Apneas were accompanied by mild to moderate oxygen desaturation.

Normal human sleep can be divided into rapid eye movement sleep (REM) characterized by desynchronized EEG signals, muscle atony, and dreaming, and nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep characterized by ...
