Morphology
The meaning 'a pause in breathing during sleep' is directly and predictably built from 'sleep' (the state of sleeping) + 'apnea' (a pause in breathing). This is a straightforward, compositional medical compound—cross-linguistically expressed in similar terms—so a learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Sleep apnea combines sleep and apnea, a word that means 'no breathing', to paint the clear image of someone who briefly 'stops breathing' while they sleep, so the phrase refers to that health problem.
