Does it feel that no matter when you go to bed you’re always tired? Do you frequently have headaches when you awaken in the morning? Do you ever awake, with a start, in the middle of the night feeling like you have to catch your breath?
Sleep apnea could be the cause of every above symptom. The sad part is, sleep apnea not only affects adults, especially once you hit middle age, but also affects roughly 2% of children. Height and weight development could be retarded in children who are afflicted by sleep apnea.
Don’t be mis-behaving!
Behavioral changes can occur. How does sleep apnea affect behavior? In children, sleep apnea can cause an inability to concentrate which could lead to a misdiagnosis of ADD or ADHD. In adults, the lack of restful sleep can cause irritability, lack of cognitive function, impaired motor skills and reflex. Sleep apnea can also disrupt relationships because a common symptom of sleep apnea is snoring. Snoring can keep your partner awake robbing them of the restful sleep they need as well.
Good sleep leads to good behavior
There are many treatments for sleep apnea, depending on the severity of your disorder. For very mild sleep apnea, a change in diet, sleep position or quitting smoking can reduce or alleviate your symptoms. Moderate to severe sleep apnea that results from a blockage in the airway can be treated by your dentist with either oral appliances or upper airway surgery.
