Sleep breathing problems are the single most common physical disturbance in someone who suffers from poor sleep quality. Whether you suffer from insomnia, complain of nightmares, restless or jerking legs, or show signs of poor functioning on the Sleep Misery Index, remarkably, breathing problems are the most universal finding among all these types of troubled sleepers.

Many with sleep problems have a great deal of difficulty accepting or appreciating the role of breathing when it comes to sleep. But, let's stop for a moment and ask ourselves, "what is the single most important physiological function of the human body?" Answer: Breathing! Indeed, if you stop breathing for just a few minutes, the risk of brain damage is enormous. Think about the role of CPR; why is it so important to pump on the chest wall? Answer: To deliver oxygen to the brain and to the muscles of the heart.
