You were probably having an apnea event during REM/dream sleep, the stage of sleep when a lot of us have most of our apnea events -- during REM dream sleep i believe the muscles in our throat relax to their utmost, making an obstruction more likely to occur.
You are on the right track Mike , but During REM one is Paralized . The apneas Are longer sometimes up to 90-130 seconds. I've seen 3 minutes. So in most cases someone has less.....because of the time. Example NREM apneas last 10- 25 seconds. So in 1 minute one could have 2-4 apneas ......
Some people only have Apnea during REM. Because of the change in breathing. Long deep breaths NREM, and short shallow breaths REM ...due to the paralysis.
