Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that involves pauses in breathing during sleep. One common treatment is the use of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine, which delivers gentle air pressure to keep the airway open. Insomnia, narcolepsy, and cataplexy do not typically require the use of a CPAP machine.
