Does sleep apnea prevent you from being well-rested?

Is sleep apnea preventing you from feeling energetic throughout the day?

Sleep apnea affects daily productivity

Millions of people worldwide struggle with sleep apnea. It is considered a serious sleep disorder that can severely impact one's overall well-being by preventing them from experiencing restful sleep. Sleep apnea causes interruptions in breathing during sleep which forces you to wake up repeatedly throughout the night. These disruptions prevent individuals from reaching the deeper stages of sleep. That is why people with sleep apnea often wake up feeling fatigued and irritable. Loud snoring is a generic symptom of sleep apnea. It has also been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular problems, hypertension, diabetes, weight gain, and even stroke. Additionally, untreated sleep apnea can impair cognitive function, memory, concentration, and daily productivity and overall quality of life. Surgical interventions may be considered to remove excess tissue or correct structural abnormalities in the throat and nasal passages if you are suffering from this condition.
