Your snoring is more than just annoying to your spouse. Studies indicate that snoring costs your bed partner up to 2 hours of sleep each night; additionally, it has been linked to a number of serious health conditions including heart disease and stroke. Approximately 75-80% of people who snore may also have obstructive sleep apnea.
In addition to snoring, another common symptom of sleep apnea is daytime sleepiness, caused by poor quality sleep. Fragmented sleep places significant strain on the body, relationships, affects job performance, and increases a person's risk for car and work place accidents.
You may be suprised to know that it is estimated as many as 90% of people with Sleep Apnea don't know they have it.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea occurs when soft tissue in the rear of the throat collapses blocking the airway. This may occur 30 times or more an hour and causes the patient to stop breathing anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes!
