Mixed sleep apnoea is a combination of OSA and CSA, where both obstructive and central components are present.

Hypopnoea refers to abnormal, shallow breathing during sleep, leading to a partial reduction in airflow and decreased oxygen levels.

Typical signs comprise noisy snoring, persistent daytime fatigue, frequent morning headaches, and fluctuations in mood.
