Once again, you found yourself struggling with fatigue, irritability, and a lack of focus, all signs of a poor night’s rest. For someone who misses out on a recommended amount of sleep, this can be expected. However, it can come as a surprise if you believe you should have enjoyed the right amount, and it can grow concerning when it continues to happen. What you may not realize is that your lack of rest can point to problems with sleep apnea. This condition interferes with your rest cycles, which need to be completed in order to help you gain the full health benefits of a night’s sleep. At our Livonia/Detroit, MI dentist’s office, we offer support to individuals who are struggling with this condition. By taking on your nightly breathing difficulties with a custom oral appliance, we can actually make your care surprisingly comfortable!
Should I Worry That My Snoring And Fatigue Are Actually Linked To Sleep Apnea?
Snoring is not always caused by sleep apnea, but it is commonly associated with this condition. People who suffer from it can also have a difficult time feeling properly rested, and may go through their days with lower energy levels, a lack of focus, and problems with their mood. If you think that your issues might point to an issue with sleep apnea, make sure you seek care. In time, the problem can take a real toll on your physical health. People who leave it untreated can become vulnerable to problems with high blood pressure and an irregular heartbeat. They can also have difficulties managing existing physical and mental health problems, and are at risk for falling asleep at inopportune and even dangerous times.
Correcting Nightly Breathing Difficulties Through Oral Appliance Therapy
Through oral appliance therapy, our practice can provide an effective solution for those who have a difficult time breathing at night. By wearing yours, you can correct the position of your jaw in such a way that you no longer experience interference with your airways. In making this change, we can help you remain asleep during the night so that you complete your rest cycles. This can be a welcome alternative to care with a CPAP machine, which can be difficult for some people to adjust to wearing.
