According to him, it was in fact 80 per hour. Definitely sounds crazy.

My boss has sleep apnea and did a sleep study. It turns out he was having roughly 80 episodes an hour where he stopped breathing. They also found that his heart rate was jumping up to 135 bpm during these episodes, as well as his cortisol levels rising way above normal.
