Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when A disruption in signals that regulate breathing, which are sent from the brain, cause periods of interrupted breathing. An individual dreams she cannot breathe and wakes up in a panic. An individual's airway becomes blocked during sleep. Signals sent from the brain that regulate breathing are blocked in the hypothalamus.
