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.

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.
