“The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea is probably around 5% of the general population, or up to 25% depending on what numbers you look at,” said Sheila Tsai, a sleep medicine physician at National Jewish Health [and professor of medicine at CU School of Medicine]. Tsai said the condition can cause lower oxygen saturation and interrupt sleep throughout the night.
