Sleep apnea is among one of the most commonly diagnosed sleep disorders with approximately one in five adults diagnosed with mild obstructive sleep apnea. In addition, it is estimated another one in five adults have moderate to severe sleep apnea. While these numbers may seem high, the actual number of people suffering from the condition are expected to far exceed these estimations. In fact, it is believed at least 80 percent of sleep apnea cases remain undiagnosed.
