We have many ideas about the types of sleep apnea, but you'll probably have better luck by asking a more specific question.

Types of apnea:
Obstructive - Airway closes
Central - Brain stops telling lungs to breathe.
Mixed - Combination of the above.

The symptoms between the types of apnea are largely the same, it's just that the causes are different.

During a mixed apnea, an event starts out as obstructive and then the brain "gives up" and stops trying, turning it into a central event. People that suffer from central apnea don't wake up gasping, etc, but neither did I and I have purely obstructive.

If you did serious drinking many nights in a row, you'd eventually happen upon the ol' gasp-er-oo. Trust me, you don't want to go there.

lol, yeah, I've never had a hangover, so I dunno what would happen if I participated in lots of drunken debauchery without my trusty APAP.
