How much sleep apnea comes from solitary sleep? One mother said she
watched her husband asleep with the baby. When he had a period of apnea,
it made the baby stir in her sleep, which roused the father into breathing
again. Neither one woke up. It was the reverse of what we hear about
parents stirring in response to infant apnea, and maybe another good reason
to share sleep at all ages.
