Tired Despite a Full Night’s Sleep?
Sleep Apnea Could Be the Cause
Ever wake up feeling like you barely slept? Even if you went to bed at a decent time and slept an adequate amount of hours, unrestful sleep can leave you feeling drained and disoriented. This can impact your mood, focus, and overall health. While several things can cause disrupted sleep, sleep apnea could be one of them. Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. These episodes can last a few seconds to minutes, depriving the brain and body of oxygen.
Sleep apnea causes you to wake up gasping for air, and the cycles of disruption prevent you from reaching a deeper, restorative stage of sleep. Because of this, you may experience daytime fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and even long-term risks like increased blood pressure and a higher risk of heart disease. Thankfully, at Nevada Oral & Facial Surgery in Henderson and Las Vegas, NV, Dr. Gregory Hunter can help diagnose and treat your sleep apnea, allowing you to enjoy restful sleep again!
The Signs &
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
- Snoring
- Disrupted breathing
- Daytime fatigue
- Waking up gasping for air or choking in your sleep
- Morning headaches
- Dry mouth
- Irritability
- Memory & concentration issues
How Untreated Sleep Apnea
Can Impact Your Long-Term Health
Untreated sleep apnea can turn into various health risks over time. With the constant interruption of sleep, the body never reaches a REM cycle of deep sleep, leading to daytime fatigue, poor concentration, and irritability for the next day. Over time, untreated sleep apnea can increase your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and diabetes, as the consistent drops in oxygen levels during sleep can strain the cardiovascular system.
While sleep apnea can have long-term effects on your physical health, it can also cause harm to your mental health, causing conditions such as anxiety and depression. Everyday tasks can even become significantly harder as the results of sleep apnea can impair memory and cognitive function.
