What exactly is Sleep Apnea and why is Shaq attacking it?

 Sleep apnea is a chronic usually ongoing condition that disrupts your sleep because you experience one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep. This can move you from a deep sleep into a light sleep. When a person as sleep apnea they usually have breathing pauses that can last from just a few seconds to minutes and normally breathing starts again (with a loud snort or choking sound). This can cause the quality of your sleep to be poor, which makes you tired during the day. Sleep apnea is a leading cause of excessive daytime sleepiness.
