What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects the way your body breaths while you are sleeping. Sleep apnea occurs when the tissue in the back of your throat relaxes too much during sleep and blocks the air flow, causing a disturbance and snoring. Most people who suffer from sleep apnea jolt awake because their lungs aren’t getting enough air. This jolt can happen hundreds of time throughout the night! This is usually accompanied by a choking or gasping sound, which can be startling for anybody around you.
Those who suffer from sleep apnea are usually sleep deprived and groggy throughout the day. Sleep deprivation can be very hazardous to your health in ways that may surprise you. Studies have linked sleep deprivation to:
- High Blood Pressure
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Heart Attack & Stroke
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Headaches and Migraines
- Heartburn and Acid Reflux
