Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Do you wake up feeling tired and irritable in the mornings? Has your sleeping companion moved to the couch? While many see snoring as just an embarrassing annoyance, it may indicate other health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and possible stroke. An estimate 40 percent of all snorers suffer from a more complex condition called sleep apnea.
If you have sleep apnea, you literally stop breathing for intervals of 10 seconds or longer, sometimes up to 30 times a night. To breathe again, you have to wake up, which means you don't get the rest you need. Not only can sleep apnea leave you worn out, but this condition can also lead to health problems, car accidents, and on-the-job performance issues. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most common type, occurs when the soft palate relaxes too much and blocks your airways.
Dr. Nadler offers sleep apnea relief with a custom snoring appliance. Comfortable and easy to use, this snoring appliance allows patients to sleep all night and wake up feeling refreshed. Because the snoring appliance repositions the tongue, keeping your airway open, your breathing is not compromised, so you can get a good night's sleep. Imagine the benefits to your social life, career, and romantic pursuits.
