Central sleep apnea syndrome is a reduction or a cessation of breathing during sleep induced by the command of breathing center (in brain stem) to the muscles. The issue whether Central Sleep Apnea is a pathological event that should be suppressed or it is an adaptive reaction of an organism is still actual. In the polysomnographic studies included EEG, ECG, Eye movements, air flow, stomach and duodenum myoelectric activity, temperature of brain and body in normal cats we often observed episodes of Central Sleep Apnea. The absence of breathing (for 9-13 seconds) generally performs in REM- sleep and in the transition states (from Slow-wave to REM sleep). All episodes of apnea were followed by stereotypic complex of reactions of all parameters recorded in our study. In the context of investigated visceral theory of sleep this complex of events followed the Central Apnea most likely is coordinated physiological adaptive function important for the recovering of organism.

Key words: sleep, visceral theory of sleep, polysomnography, sleep-related breathing disorders, central sleep apnea
