At the Laguna Hills Center for Sleep Apnea & CPAP Intolerance, we can help you determine if these symptoms are related to a sleep disorder.
One of the most common sleep disorders – only second to insomnia – is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when throat muscles relax or the tongue falls back to fully or partially block air from getting to your lungs. OSA is often responsible for causing someone to snore or gasp for air throughout the night. When a person struggles to breathe or stops breathing, the brain partially awakes so that the person can breathe harder or adjust to remove the blockage. A good, restorative night of sleep becomes impossible if that person is repeatedly awakening and falling back to sleep hundreds of times a night. In many cases, because the person never fully wakes up, he or she is usually not aware that this is happening, yet routinely feels exhausted each morning.
