Sleep Apnea Death. Dying from Sleep Apnea: Causes, Risk Factors, Clinical Studies, and Real Stories. People with sleep apnea die in their sleep mostly due to severe changes in their cardiovascular system, changes that occur after a long period of sleeping without an effective treatment.
Some people die in their sleep because of a cumulative loss of cells in the part of the brain that commands breathing, the results of a new study indicate. A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, set out to investigate why some people die in their sleep. They looked at the mechanism behind central sleep apnoea, which most commonly affects people over the age of 65. Sleep apnoea is a condition in which breathing is disrupted during sleep. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnoea, which occurs when the throat is so narrow, it is partially or completely blocked. This can be caused by, for example, weight gain or alcohol consumption.
