Central sleep apnea is a type of sleep apnea characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep due to a failure of the brain to send signals to the muscles responsible for breathing. It is often associated with underlying medical conditions such as heart failure, and can result in significant sleep disturbances and decreased quality of life.
