Know About Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a serious and often overlooked sleep disorder that causes repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. 

These pauses in breathing can lead to poor sleep quality and decreased oxygen levels, which may result in daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and even more severe health complications over time such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. 

The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurs when the muscles in the throat relax and block the airway. While loud snoring is a well-known symptom, many people remain undiagnosed. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available, including lifestyle changes, CPAP machines, and oral appliances like the Silent Nite Sleep Appliance, which gently repositions the jaw to keep the airway open.
