Napping is often necessitated by extreme fatigue during the
day. But napping in exchange of sleeping at night is never a good idea.
Difficulties sleeping at night is one of the symptoms of sleep
apnea. If you have difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep, visiting
a sleep physician is the first step in determining if you are suffering from
this common disorder.
Please find
a sleep apnea dentist or call 866.727.6275
today to find a doctor in your area.
In addition to daytime fatigue, symptoms of sleep apnea may
include:
- Waking with a dry mouth or sore throat
- Frequent morning headaches
- Difficulties concentrating
- Memory loss
- Inappropriate emotional reactions
Because these symptoms occur during the day, they are often
more noticeable to those who suffer from sleep apnea. Symptoms such as snoring,
choking or gasping for air while sleeping, and periods of breath cessation also
indicate sleep apnea, but most people with the disorder have no memory of
nighttime symptoms.
If you or a loved one is frequently napping or showing any
of the symptoms of sleep apnea, please contact an experienced sleep apnea
physician in your area to schedule a sleep evaluation today.
