Do you wake up in the morning and feel as tired as the night before? Do you lack energy throughout the day? Is your partner telling you that you are a noisy sleeper? You may be suffering from snoring and sleep apnea. Loud and frequent snoring could be a sign of a more serious issue: sleep apnea. It is a disorder in which breathing becomes very shallow or briefly interrupted during sleep. These pauses typically last between 10 and 20 seconds, and result in the affected person spending more time in light sleep, as opposed to the deep, restorative sleep our bodies need. This chronic sleep deprivation can result in daytime drowsiness, slowed reflexes and poor concentration, and can lead to more serious health consequences over time. Sleep apnea affects 5 to 15% of the population, especially overweight men over 40 and loud snorers. If you suspect you have sleep apnea, your dentist can discuss several treatment options, including tips you can start implementing right away. Your dentist can also give you advice to help you breathe better at night. Your dentist at dentisteALaval.com can discuss several treatment options if you suspect you have sleep apnea, including tips you can start implementing right away, as well as dental devices that can help you breathe better at night. |
