When your breathing goes batshit insane when you sleep, causing you to wake up multiple times. Sometimes the patient stops breathing for extended periods of time, which can be fairly dangerous, seeing as you kinda need air.

Poop Apnea is a bowel movement disorder characterized by abnormal pauses in breathing during a bowel movement which can last up to 30 seconds. They are presumably due to the act of pushing to assist the bowels. Sometimes the apnea, or pause in breathing, is accompanied by a grunting sound, but the most common indication of poop apnea is the loud exhale and subsequent (also loud) inhaling during or after the bowel movement.
This person in the stall next to me needs to have their poop apnea checked out. I find myself listening for them to inhale again and wondering is this the day they stop breathing and I have to call 911.

Cat apnea is a common disorder in which the sufferer experiences one or more (usually more) pauses in sleep due to the sufferer's bed being covered in cats. Pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes at a time. Sufferers may find that despite having a full night's sleep, they wake up consistently tired.

A condition where the airway collapses and patient stops breathing in their sleep, this can be caused by enlarged tonsils, adnoids, uvula and soft pallet. Often associated with snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness. Most common form of treatment for sleep apnea is CPAP (continous positive airway pressure) which forces air into the airway and keeps the airway from collapsing. This eliminates snoring and apnea.
