Sleep Disordered Breathing is a rarely-diagnosed spectrum of disorders caused by respiratory airflow resistance resulting from allergies/nasal obstruction and/or physically narrow airways due to insufficient jaw development, and less frequently other disorders(septum deviation, adenoid, tonsil, turbinate hypertrophy are usually consequences of insufficient space to develop properly or inflammation)
This causes increased respiratory effort during sleep(and frequently, partial or even full airway collapse) when airway muscles are relaxed, leading to abnormal Autonomous Nervous System modulation which results in destabilization of sleep processes, severely impaired rest quality, and dysregulation of numerous physical and mental functions.
Contrary to popular belief, Obstructive Sleep Apnea is not a standalone syndrome, but rather results from years or decades of damage caused by abnormal sleep, and primary symptoms in most people are psychological and somatic in nature.
