Snoring & Sleep Apnea

What Is Sleep Apnea?

If you snore at night, you know just how disruptive it is for both you and your loved one’s sleep. In addition to being bothersome, snoring may signal a serious sleep disorder called sleep apnea.



Sleep apnea is a medical condition characterized by interruptions and pauses in your breathing during sleep. Obstructions cause obstructive sleep apnea in the airway, typically the result of your tongue rolling back in your mouth or collapsing tissues in your airway.
