Determining What Your Symptoms Mean
When you begin to notice certain signs of a sleep disorder, it can be confusing and you might not know whether or not you should take the next steps. However, learning about the symptoms of sleep apnea and getting a diagnosis through a professional sleep study will help guide you to the treatment you need.
Sleep apnea is generally associated with deep, loud snoring and gasps for air in the middle of the night. Along with these symptoms, you should also look out for:
- Excessive daytime drowsiness
- Lack of energy
- Insomnia
- Decreased motivation
- Waking up with a dry mouth or headache
- Reduced libido
- Mood swings
- Frequent nighttime urination
