Feeling Tired? You Might be Suffering From Sleep Apnea

One of the biggest signs of suffering from sleep apnea is feeling tired in the middle of the day. If you have sleep apnea, you may be waking up numerous times throughout the night, depriving you of the sleep you need. At the moment, it’s estimated that over a quarter of the American population is not getting the sleep they need.

For most adults, seven to nine hours of sleep per night is plenty of time for the body to relax and repair itself. Unfortunately, obstructive sleep apnea can deprive you of this important rest and make you feel tired throughout the day. Some of the most common sleep apnea health problems include:

  • Obesity
  • Increased Risk of Stroke
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Impotence
  • Weight Gain

Some people feel so exhausted during the day that they feel the need to take numerous naps just to make it through work or other activities. One of the ways you can take care of your sleep apnea symptoms is by speaking with an experienced sleep apnea dentist.

If you are suffering from lack of sleep due to obstructive sleep apnea and you are ready to fix things, please schedule a full sleep apnea evaluation with Dr. Ira Shapira, Gurnee Illinois dentist.
