Interestingly enough, you can think you must have enjoyed a full, solid night of sleep but wake up feeling surprisingly exhausted the next day. Continue on with this cycle for several days – if not weeks or months – and you will find yourself faced with serious exhaustion that can affect many areas of your life. Keep in mind, significant fatigue can result in severe problems with concentration, mood, and even your health. For a couple common reasons you may not feel well rested, such as the side effects of excessive snoring, learn a bit more.
Reason #1: Excessive Snoring
It’s possible that you are suffering from excessive snoring. Whether or not you wake yourself up does not necessarily help you determine that snoring is the culprit. You see, our culture often laughs snoring off as a funny noise that people emit at night – we also embrace joking about one’s significant other and his or her loud snoring (rather than taking the issue seriously). People commonly overlook the fact that the partially collapsed airways that cause your snoring can affect your health. Unfortunately, this begins with disrupted sleep on a nightly basis for both you and your partner.
Reason #2: Sleep Apnea
You may simply suffer from excessive snoring, which we can help you address. Or, this may be symptom of a more serious underlying concern that we refer to as sleep apnea. In this instance, your partially collapsed throat tissues go a step further and fully collapse. The result? You might snore part of the night away – and spend a lot of the remaining time quickly snapping into consciousness to breathe before returning to sleep. Set up a consultation with us as soon as possible, so we may identify the factors affecting your sleep and offer appropriate, effective treatment.
