Excessive daytime somnolence is the main symptom of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Repetitive upper airway obstructions during sleep are followed by arousals and consequent sleep fragmentation. Furthermore, obstructive apneas or hypopneas and arousals are accompanied by fluctuations of blood pressure and heart rate. Several recent studies have found OSAS to be an independent risk factor for arterial hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
日间过度嗜睡是阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（OSAS）的主要症状。睡眠期间反复出现的上呼吸道阻塞会导致觉醒，进而导致睡眠片段化。此外，阻塞性呼吸暂停或呼吸浅慢以及觉醒会伴有血压和心率波动。最近的几项研究发现，OSAS是动脉高血压和心血管疾病的独立危险因素。
