Sleep Apnea Resource Center

Do you wake up unrested no matter how long you sleep? Do you have headaches in the morning, and doze off in the afternoon, even when at work or driving? You might blame this on many things: an old mattress, a boring job, stress, or just aging. But the more likely truth is that you have sleep apnea.

Your entire body needs sleep, so when you’re not getting it, your entire body suffers. You might think you’re sleeping enough when you have sleep apnea, but you aren’t. This can lead to serious health problems and may become deadly.

Sleep apnea is a potentially deadly condition, and about 85% of people with it don’t know they have it. That’s why it’s important to know the symptoms. If you experience daytime sleepiness, waking up unrested, or other symptoms, it’s important to get tested for sleep apnea.

Most people think of snoring as just a sound. It might be quiet or loud, amusing or annoying, but we rarely take it seriously. That’s what makes it dangerous. Snoring is the most noticeable symptom associated with sleep apnea, a potentially deadly condition. But snoring is also dangerous in itself and should be treated.

Once you’ve gotten a sleep test to establish that you have the condition, you have your choice of treatments to improve your health and quality of life. You might find CPAP works for you or choose the more comfortable and convenient oral appliance therapy. It’s up to you!
