Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The loud and disruptive machine using a mask to regulate airflow into the lungs indicate that Jason is experiencing sleep apnea, a condition where an individual experiences disrupted breathing during sleep. The machine is likely a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine, a common treatment for sleep apnea. Somnambulism (sleepwalking) and narcolepsy (excessive daytime sleepiness) do not typically require the use of a CPAP machine. Insomnia may cause difficulty falling or staying asleep, but it does not typically require a CPAP machine.
