  1. Your summary about Sleep and Dreams is very good.I want to share some information about sleep apnea.Sleep apnea is basically a condition that affects most people causing them to stop breathing for around 10-20 seconds as they sleep. There are different symptoms of sleep apnea that are dependent on the type of sleep apnea condition that one is suffering from. Normally, there are three kinds of sleep apnea namely the (OSA) or obstructive sleep apnea and the (CSA) or central sleep apnea. The third type is rare and exhibits signs of both CSA and OSA, which is called mixed sleep apnea.
