More than 936 million people have obstructive sleep apnea—the disorder’s first prevalence update in more than a decade—according toThe Lancet Respiratory Medicine.
What are the benefits of treating sleep apnea? When left untreated, sleep apnea can negatively affect your energy levels, productivity and mental well-being. It can also have long-term, adverse effects on your heart, metabolism and overall health.
"Remember, sleep plays a vital role in health. If you're struggling getting used to your PAP system, get help from someone who has been there and done that. It can make a tremendous difference!"—Orville
We’ve all had nights where we don’t get enough sleep. If you suffer from any form of sleep apnea, you are having more than one of those nights. Your sleep could be interrupted as many as hundreds of times a night by closures in your airway that occur during an apneic event. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is when your muscles relax and cause a full or partial blockage. OSA is the most common form of sleep apnea.
