About Awake In Philly Advertising Policy Advertising Info Apnea Overview Bookstore Community Outreach Compliance Issues ... World-Class Snoring Quiz Apnea FAQ Can you tell if someone has apnea? While it takes a polysomnogram (PSG), also called a "sleep study" to diagnose apnea, you can often tell if someone has apnea if you listen while the person sleeps. There are several typical telltale signs of apnea. The first sign would be a person who snores (often very loud). Somewhere during the person's snoring, there is a brief period of silence which lasts anywhere from ten seconds to two minutes. That silence is followed by a loud snort or gasp as the person again begins to breathe. What exactly is apnea? Sleep apnea is a common disorder, which clinically defined, means a person stops breathing while sleeping for a period of at least 10 seconds, and can occur from several times an hour to several hundred times a night, or more.
