How Obstructive Sleep Apnea Impacts Brain Function

OSA causes repeated sleep interruptions and low oxygen, affecting brain cells and nerve pathways.
Brain regions such as the cerebral cortex and hippocampus may shrink in OSA.
OSA is linked to impaired brain connectivity and slower neural communication.
Sleep disruption from OSA contributes to daytime fatigue and cognitive issues.
OSA increases vascular risk and stroke potential through condition linkages.
Experts summarize that sleep apnea affects brain areas responsible for emotion and memory.
The review cites several peer‑reviewed studies to support the brain health link.
OSA prevalence among adults in the United States is estimated at 10 to 30 percent.
Sleep health is crucial for toxin clearance and memory consolidation during sleep.
