Brief description Prolonged, repetitive episodes of obstructed breathing during sleep (known as obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome or OSA) is a common medical problem that afflicts both adults and children. As many as 200,000 Australian adults and 100,000 children are affected. OSA has major medical consequences, amongst the most serious being cardiovascular disease and stroke. This experimental study investigates the blood flow to the brain and heart in normal sleep, and in sleep disrupted by OSA, as many of the problems associated with OSA may have their origin in disturbance of blood flow to the brain and heart.
