I get a good night sleep now, and I don’t need a nap in the afternoon, and I’m not hearing from my husband, “Breathe. Breathe.” In the middle of the night, he was waking me up, because I wasn’t breathing, and I don’t get that anymore.
Snoring is a common sleep apnea symptom. It affects the ability of all members of your household, not just you, to get a good night’s rest. You might think that snoring doesn’t threaten your overall health, but the sound you hear when you’re snoring is your airway collapsing as you are trying to breathe. If your airway closes completely, you don’t even hear the noise of snoring, and that is even worse. Your body is completely deprived of oxygen.
Treating your apnea won’t just improve the quality of your sleep. It can also reduce the risks of sleep apnea in Novi and beyond, as well as:

It sounds pretty dramatic, but studies have linked sleep apnea to multiple life-threatening conditions like heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and even cancers. A 2010 study in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine found that having sleep apnea increased risk of stroke by two or three times. People with sleep apnea have a higher risk of death from related cardiac complications, according to a 2013 study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
If you don’t treat sleep apnea, you are putting yourself at greater risk for serious health problems like diabetes, stroke, depression, and heart disease. You will also continue to suffer from symptoms like headache, fatigue, and dry mouth. Your work may be affected because sleep deprivation makes it more difficult to focus on tasks. Your personal relationships can suffer too because a regular lack of sleep makes you irritable.
Sleep apnea makes you less alert, which is obviously a problem when driving. Untreated sleep apnea affects your reaction time and can even cause you to drift into sleep while driving. Studies have shown that people with untreated sleep apnea are involved in fatigue-related motor vehicle accidents more than people who don’t have apnea.
