4 Sleep apnoea
4 睡眠呼吸暂停
Sleep apnoea is a condition where a person stops breathing between loud snores. These pauses in breathing happen when the airways narrow or close completely, depriving the lungs of oxygen. When the brain detects dangerously low levels of oxygen, it automatically wakes the sufferer, so they can return to normal breathing.
睡眠呼吸暂停指人在很大的鼾声中停止呼吸的状况。呼吸暂停的情况往往在气流狭窄或完全关闭的情况下发生，剥夺肺部的氧气，当大脑发现氧气量处于危险的低水平的时候，会自动地叫醒睡着的人，因此它们会返回正常的呼吸状态。
Most common in overweight, middle aged men, those with the condition are at increased risk of stroke, cardiovascular disease and hypertension. For many sufferers, the only sign is feeling exhausted the next day. Breathing machines worn at night, plus lifestyle changes, can help.
最常见的体重偏胖见于中年男子，伴随着中风，心血管疾病和高血压增加的危险。对于许多患者，唯一的标志是第二天感到筋疲力竭。晚上戴上氧气罩，加上改变生活方式有助于缓解这种状况。
