Waking up isn't always easy:
If your throat muscles become too lax, your airways can constrict, leading oxygen levels in your body to drop. Your brain then senses that you can’t breathe and sounds the alarm by forcing you to wake up so that you can reopen your airways, theexplains. This might cause you to choke, snort, gasp, or exhibit some other form of breathing weirdness. Even though this can happen multiple times every hour, these awakenings are usually so short that people don’t always recall waking up, Dr.
If you have central sleep apnea, which is a less common form of the condition that happens when your brain fails to send signals to your breathing muscles, you’re also likely to wake up gasping for air, Dr. Winter says. There’s also a form of sleep apnea called complex sleep apnea syndrome, which is basically a mix of the obstructive and central versions of the condition.
Beyond waking up gasping for air, symptoms of sleep apnea generally include loud snoring, waking up with dry mouth, having a morning headache, feeling sleepy during the day, and being irritable, theIf you’re regularly waking up gasping for air and you also snore or your partner says they’ve noticed you’re showing these or other signs of sleep apnea, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor.
