What impact can sleep apnea have on memory, concentration, or long-term cognitive health?

Patients with sleep apnea have a potential for cognitive changes in outer brain function, and that is because there is an alteration on the mechanisms that help the brain store information, recall information because of the fragmented sleep at night.

Inadequate sleep will affect our brain function.

If you add on changes because of sleep apnea, you would have higher chances of developing memory gaps, slower response time.

You would have more cognitive changes in consolidation of old memory as well.

There's an additional factor in sleep apnea, which is the changes in oxygen level.

So now the brain at night might be functioning at low levels of oxygen, and that may also affect brain function.

How might someone treat it if we have sleep apnea?
