Evan is experiencing breathing disruptions during sleep, which is a hallmark symptom of sleep apnea. Additionally, his prematurity may put him at higher risk for this condition. Sleep apraxia and narcolepsy are not associated with these symptoms, and insomnia refers to difficulty falling or staying asleep, rather than breathing disruptions during sleep.
