Definition
A sleep-related disorder characterized by cyclical breathing patterns where periods of shallow or absent breathing (apneas or hypopneas) alternate with periods of deeper breathing (hyperpnea). This cyclical pattern is caused by an instability in the body's respiratory control system, where the brain doesn't properly regulate breathing effort.
