Do I have sleep apnea?

If you have trouble waking up and then remain groggy throughout the day, you may suffer from sleep apnea. This common condition occurs when breathing stops repeatedly during the night for periods of ten seconds or longer. When the brain senses a lack of oxygen, it tells the body to wake up. Sufferers often gasp for air, causing them to awaken entirely or enter a shallower sleep stage. Untreated sleep apnea not only inhibits restful slumber, but it also increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other whole-body health complications.

What causes sleep apnea?

When we sleep, tissues in the body relax. Air passageways can collapse and obstruct airflow. The tongue may fall back to block the throat. Enlarged anatomical structures and obesity also contribute to sleep apnea. Snoring occurs when tissues vibrate as a result of air forcing its way through narrowed passages.

What’s oral appliance therapy?
