title: Obstructive sleep apnoeahypopnoea syndrome and cognitive impairments.
abstract: Obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea is a common condition involving apnoea (absence of breath) and hypopnoea (reduced airflow). It causes intermittent hypoxia and poor quality, fragmented sleep. As a result, daytime functioning is significantly impaired with excessive sleepiness, fatigue and mood problems.
