The SRBD Spectrum

Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) affect millions and range from common snoring to more severe conditions like Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

SRBDs start with blocked airflow during sleep, causing poor rest and frequent wake-ups. This lack of quality sleep harms your health.

In children, SRBD can masquerade as ADHD, causing hyperactivity
and inattention. Poor sleep disrupts their cognitive development
and growth, often leading to orthodontic issues and improper
jaw development.

Understanding Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a serious but often overlooked disorder where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to restless nights and a range of health issues. The most common type, OSA, occurs when the soft tissue at the back of your throat collapses, blocking your airway. Be on the lookout for signs of sleep apnea to protect your health:

Loud snoring
Episodes of stopped breathing during sleep,  often observed by another person
Abrupt awakenings with gasping or choking

Morning headaches
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Difficulty concentrating
Mood changes, such as irritability or depression

Untreated sleep apnea can severely impact your health and well-being. It can lead to serious cardiovascular issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Beyond that, it causes chronic daytime fatigue, increasing your risk of accidents, and affects your cognitive function, potentially leading to depression.

DID YOU KNOW?

The National Council on Aging reports that obstructive sleep apnea affects around 40 million adults in the U.S.
