Sleep Apnea is just snoring – myth? Although snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, there’s a big difference between the two. People with sleep apnea actually stop breathing up to 400 times throughout the night. These interruptions last 10 to 30 seconds and are often followed by a snort when breathing resumes. This breaks your sleep cycle and can leave you tired during the day. Douglas County Hospital now has four beds needed for monitoring your sleep patterns usually requiring a one night stay.
