What are UARS and RERA?

UARS = upper airway resistance syndrome RERA = respiratory effort related arousal

UARS is effectively a "cousin" of sleep apnea which tends to occur in younger and fitter people - it is hard to diagnose but quite debilitating. RERAs are the primary sleep disturbing event for folks with UARS. Similar to how apneas are the primary event for folks with sleep apnea.
