Is Snoring More Than An Inconvenience?
Snoring Can Affect Your Relationship
Although many people don’t believe their snoring is a big deal and aren’t too eager to seek a sleep study for their potential sleep disorder, their sleeping partner may say otherwise. Your rowdy breathing is sure to be keeping your significant other up throughout the night and they’re probably the first to recognize your symptoms of sleep apnea.
If you suffer from sleep apnea, your snores turn into abrupt gasping for air in the midst of your sleep, which often awakens your partner. These common awakenings can quickly generate a rift within your relationship because of the lack of sleep.
Loss of quality sleep can quickly trigger exhaustion, irritability, and even resentment. Your partner will be more induced to sleep in different rooms which can ultimately lead to a damaged sex life, lost feelings towards each other, and even permanent separation or divorce. In fact, snoring is the third leading cause of divorce in American couples.
It’s best to visit a doctor to discover if your snoring is more serious than just a habitual irritant. The tension between you and your sleep partner can be resolved once your sleep apnea is diagnosed and treated.
How to Catch Your Sleep Apnea Early
Once you notice your days have become less productive because of your low energy, headaches, and mood swings, receiving a sleep study is your next course of action. Prior to your appointment with your local sleep physician, we offer a free Sleep Apnea Assessment that will help clarify your condition before you receive an official diagnosis.
When you go in for your overnight sleep test, your physician will determine if your snoring and symptoms are indicative of sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea, Dr. Bogrow will work with your doctor to find a suitable treatment to help relieve your snoring.
