The shortest being 3 to 4 seconds and the longest being over 110 seconds!! I finally went in to be tested when one night I woke up BLUE and having a REAL hard time breathing. The doctor estimates I could have been not breathing for over 3 or 4 minutes in that case. It scared the ---Cleveland steamer--- out of me.
PRE-CPAP: I'd have to get up and piss a MINIMUM of once per night, averaged 2 times per night, sometimes 3 times per night. EVERY night.
POST-CPAP: The very first day I used the machine I slept through the entire night without getting up to piss once. It's THAT much of a difference.

IIRC, my wife stopped around 22 times an hour, with the longest being 1 minute or so. She was shocked that was considered not being apnea. She also goes to the bathroom several times a night. I figured it was because she was a woman.

Dude, if you are recalling the numbers correctly, that is Sleep Apnea, there's no way stopping to breath for 1 minute is considered borderline. Either get her re-evaluated ELSEWHERE or there's a communication problem between you/wife and the doctors. That's just ridiculous...

Agreed. I was told almost everyone stops breathing in their sleep from time to time...but that "normal" is under 10 seconds and under a couple per NIGHT....
