Chronic obstructive sleep apnea happens during the deepest form of sleep, when your body acts a little differently than normal. During this period, the tissue within your throat may begin to soften, and at a point, it starts to block your airway. This can cause a pause in breath called apnea, preventing normal flow of air until your body jostles you awake out of reflex.
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder, and it can show itself in a range of symptoms. Loud snoring is probably the most common symptom that people experience, but there are others, as well. Morning headaches, dry mouth, and a general feeling of tiredness may all be a result of poor sleep due to OSA. If you find that you are exhausted by lunchtime, speak with a sleep science professional to find out if a sleep disorder is to blame.
Chronic OSA can become a significant health problem, yet some people choose to live with their condition due to the hassle and noise of traditional CPAP therapy. At our office, our patients have the opportunity to try a quieter, more convenient sleep apnea treatment with oral appliance therapy.
