For some people they may not realize that they have a sleeping disorder. They may just think that they are restless and have a hard time falling asleep at night. However, for some this may not be the reason at all. Some of these people that are not sleeping at night, may have sleep apnea.

People that are bothered by sleep apnea complain that they are waking up with a sore or dry throat. They may sometimes wake up choking or gasping for air. Often times the people that are affected by sleep apnea are waking up to the sound of their own snoring. This is something that will confirm sleep apnea and it may be time to get some treatment for it.

A person with sleep apnea often complains that they are tired during the day. They are not getting enough sleep at night and this is making it hard for them to deal with a normal work or school day. For some, it may start to affect their job performance or get them in trouble at school with failing grades.

Looking for something reliable which is maintenance free. Thanks in advance for the advice!

I hate the mask (as many people do). I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. I am considering surgical options but I’ve been told the only one that may work for me is the mandibular advancement (when they break your jaw and move it forward). Has anyone had this before? What were your experiences? Did it work? Do you know of any other surgery that may help? Oral appliances?

I have a 4 year old son diagnosed with this last week and I’m told it can be life threatening..We’ve had the sleep study done and confirmed it. My Pediatric doc. thinks it Neurological, but what’s that mean? Any answers would be greatly appreciated, I don’t sleep much, too scared.

And can this condition be treated?

My boyfriend has sleep apnea pretty badly, he says he’ll stop breathing for lengthy amounts of time. That kind of scares me! So, if anyone has any good household or other rememdies that can help with sleep apnea, please let me know! Thanks!

When a person cannot breathe normally while he or she is sleeping then he or she is suffering from sleep apnea.. So the person is awake every time he or she has to breathe. It is a serious trouble that leads to further complications considering breathing.

He or she has to wake up several times throughout the night in order to gulp in fresh breath of air. Also the patient fails to remember this entire incident of having woken up to breathe. It is the person who rests next to the one suffering from sleep apnea who lets the person know about his or her condition.
