People who have the illness known as sleep apnea will cease breathing for brief periods of time while they are sleeping. Apneas are the name given to these pauses in breathing. Apneas often last anywhere from ten to thirty seconds. In severe circumstances, an individual may experience apneas many hundreds of times throughout the course of a single night. People who have sleep apnea that goes untreated have an increased risk of developing high blood pressure. Apneas prevent a person from getting a restful night's sleep, which in turn causes that person to be less awake during the day. Because of this, accidents could occur. People who have untreated sleep apnea have up to seven times the risk of being involved in a car accident than people who do not have the condition.
