What Is Sleep Apnea?



Chronic Sleep Apnea is a condition in which one actually quits breathing for short episodes during sleep.

The condition is easily diagnosed by doctors trained in sleep disorders, by simply going to a sleep clinic. Some signs and symptoms include; loud snoring with moments of complete silence; a “snorting” sound with abrupt wakening; feeling exhausted even after you have slept for several hours; lack of concentration; and even falling asleep during the day while driving or on the job. This condition can be life threatening and is treatable.

For more information check with your family doctor and you may check out the National Sleep Foundation's website.
