Do I Have Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder. There are an estimated sixteen million untreated cases in just the United States. Sleep apnea is usually identifiable through a person’s severe snoring paired with occasional stops in breathing throughout the night. These stops in breathe can last more than thirty seconds and sometimes happen as many as thirty times in an hour. The risk of sleep apnea increases as one ages. It is more likely in men than women, at least for younger individuals.
