• Collapse

  With obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, physical blockages or obstructions in the airway occur during sleep, usually because the back of the tongue collapses against the soft palate and the soft palate collapses against the back of the throat. [sleepapnea.org]

  This results in air sacks not being filled with air, and thus they collapse. This is called atelectasis. [hardluckasthma.blogspot.com]
