Why Treat Sleep Apnea?

It’s a sleep disorder that causes you to experience pauses of breath, often for 10 or more seconds at a time. Although you may not be directly aware of it, you do feel its effects – irritability, lack of concentration, extreme fatigue each and every day. It’s called sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea happens because your airways become blocked while you sleep. These interruptions cause you to stop breathing momentarily. Your body wakes up just enough to take a breath. If not treated, these frequent mini interruptions will affect you, not just the next day, but for the long haul too.

Why should you treat sleep apnea? First and foremost – for better sleep! Ask yourself this – would you rather feel refreshed and be productive, or be sluggish and unfocused?

Even though it is unpleasant, fatigue isn’t the only issue associated with sleep apnea. The stress of poor sleeps will take its toll on your body. In fact, over time, people with untreated sleep apnea are more likely to experience stroke, heart attack, and many other serious health issues than those who are treating it.

And don’t forget the people around you. They would rather be around someone who is happy and positive instead of grumpy and tired.

Treating your sleep apnea is beneficial not just to you, but to your family, friends, and co-workers as well. If you suspect you have sleep apnea, make an appointment with your doctor. They can recommend the proper treatment so that you can get back to your old self in no time.
