quality of life

Night after night of improper sleep and breathing takes its toll on our quality of life and may include the following:

• Always being tired, no energy
• Feeling of depression
• Easily irritated
• Falling asleep at inappropriate times
• Difficulty concentrating
• Forgetfulness
• Wake up with headache
• Others are frustrated
• Decreased sex drive

Unfortunately, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea doesn’t only affect the person with the problem.  Anyone who has slept with a person who snores knows it can disrupt his or her sleep as well.  This “second-hand snoring” can cause the bed-partner to suffer the same daytime sleepiness problems that their snoring partner experiences which may lead to marital discord and adverse health consequences.
