On Friday I heard the gladsome news that I suffer from a severe form of this. It explains, in part, why my cat won't sleep with me at night - my legs move over 30 times. No self respecting cat would put up with such a restless bed partner. I also stop breathing something like 22 times, the baseline is 5. It's scary to know you stop breathing so often when you are asleep and that your oxygen level drops to 80 %.
I told the doctor I don't want to be cut. (The dentist with his needles and drills is bad enough.) So the only option is a CPAP machine which will blow compressed air down my air passages to keep my soft palate from collapsing. The thought of going to bed every night connected to a machine and with a mask on my face is disconcerting. And what about vagaries of Eskom?
