Sleep apnea is one of the most common sleep disorders. It can rob you of precious rest and leave you feeling drained day after day. In an effort to get more sleep, you might be tempted to start taking sleeping pills, especially if your sleep apnea is accompanied by bouts of insomnia. While pills might help you fall asleep, taking them is not a good idea if you have sleep apnea! This blog post explains why.

Millions of adults across the United States have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Sadly, many of them do not know that they have it, and some know that they have it but choose not to get it treated! If you are in the latter group, you might reason that OSA is just a minor inconvenience; you may be used to feeling tired all the time. The reality is, though, that failing to treat your sleep apnea can lead to some major consequences for your health and quality of life. In this blog post, you will learn what might happen.
