Sleep Apnea
Learn more about Sleep Apnea below. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
Sleep apnea can be a serious sleep disorder that arises when a person’s breathing is obstructed during sleep and the body is jolted out of REM sleep. The main cause of sleep apnea is a weakness in the throat which causes it to close during sleep. A mispositioned jaw, most commonly caused by tension in the muscles, can also be a culprit of the disorder.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea: If untreated, sleep apnea can cause repeated short breathing pauses throughout your sleep cycle. In many instances, if you have sleep apnea, you don’t actually know you suffering from it. Typically your partner, spouse or roommate would takes notice of you gasping in the middle of the night. Some common symptoms of sleep apnea are:
- Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
- Insomnia
- Nightmares
- Sleep deprivation
- Job impairment
- Snoring (also triggered by a throat weakness)
