Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Chronic snoring is a topic of many jokes, but bed partners and family members are not the only ones who suffer. Aside from heavy snorers getting banished to the couch or another bedroom, snoring can be the symptom of a much more serious problem known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), and it’s no laughing matter.
Why Get Treated
While snoring may not seem like a big problem (at least not to the snorer), there are very important reasons to get treated. Up to 50% of the population is sleep deprived. Sleep apnea is a critical health issue for those who suffer from it. The effects, although not often immediately obvious, can be serious and even life threatening.
