From what I remember, there's something that most people have that if you stop breathing at night to an extent it could kill you, you'll wake up and adjust yourself. The SIDS babies don't have that thing though, I think it's some kind of gene? I found this on tumblr a million years ago, I wish I could find the original article.A lot of SIDS was being caused by parents choosing to co-sleep with their infants and their babies would most likely be smothered or suffocated by the bed sheets. It’s been greatly reduced in the last couple decades. I can buy into the sleep apnea theory for some SIDS cases however, since sleep apnea can’t be detected as a cause of death in an autopsy and babies have such tiny lungs and undeveloped muscles.
quick edit:
It was an enzyme! I don't have a lot of time to sit at the 'puter and look into this, but at least now I know I didn't make it up.
