Catathrenia is a type of parasomnia characterized by long, slow breathing sounds during sleep. These sounds, which can be loud enough to disrupt the sleep of others, are often accompanied by a peaceful facial expression and a lack of physical movement. The exact cause of catathrenia is unknown, but it is thought to be related to the regulation of breathing during sleep. Treatment options are typically not necessary, but lifestyle changes and positional therapy may help reduce the frequency and severity of catathrenic breathing
