My husband snores and does NOT have sleep apnea. Earplugs are the way to go!
You're correct. He's having Hypopneas. That is partial airway blockage.
And they are also bad. Not so much as apnea. Hypopneas, depending on how long they last and the severity, generally only partially cause partial oxygen desaturation. Nevertheless, they can certainly ruin his sleep which will eventually cause issues. Hypopneas and apnea prevent your body from entering REM cycles. That's the time the body repairs itself. You don't get good sleep, you get sick. That's just how it is.
