When the oxygen drops with each breath, your sleep moves from a deeper to a lighter stage. And you will wake quickly as you move to the lighter stage of sleep. This may also lead to increased blood pressure along with signs and symptoms. Moreover, there are three types of sleep apnea: obstructive, complex, and central. However, obstructive and central sleep apnea is the most common. Obstructive sleep apnea(Osa) is where you may experience helf or complete obstruction of the upper airways during sleep, leading to intermittent hypoxia or sleep fragmentation. This type is the most common type associated with dementia.
