… Because of My Snoring!
“I knew something had to be done when my wife and I started sleeping in separate rooms…”
If you complete that sentence with “because of my snoring,” you owe it to yourself (and your wife!) to investigate a condition called sleep apnea. Much of our media is filled with gimmicks, hype and scare tactics, and most snorers have dismissed their condition as a common and incurable nuisance.
Perhaps you’ve already tried the latest remedy at the local drugstore in the hopes that you could find a cheap and easy solution to the nightly aggravation, but finally accepted the situation as “normal” when it didn’t work. While it’s true that snoring is fairly common, it is not correct to assume that it is benign or untreatable.
Over 12 million Americans suffer from a condition known as sleep apnea, and the #1 symptom of this condition is snoring. With sleep apnea, a person actually experiences oxygen deprivation during sleeping hours, and it can have long-term health effects. While it is common knowledge that long-term sleep deprivation is bad for your health, snorers often don’t make the connection to daytime symptoms of their serious long-term condition: difficulty with information processing, judgment, and short term memory, behavioral effects such as decreased vigilance and motivation as well as moodiness and aggressiveness.
While other sleep apnea patients suffer even more serious and acute health problems, they typically form the group of patients that are diagnosed, as their health complications force them to seek treatment.
The good news is, whether you have a mild snoring problem or diagnosed sleep apnea, effective remedies are available. Please feel free to research this topic more at our web site:
