What Is Sleep Apnea vs. Snoring?

OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA IS A SERIOUS CONDITION WHERE A PERSON EXPERIENCES LAPSES IN BREATHING AND SHALLOW BREATHS WHILE ASLEEP.

When sleep apnea occurs, pauses in breathing may last anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or longer. If sleep apnea is not treated, it can lead to more serious conditions, such as heart attack and stroke.

SNORING IS USUALLY CAUSED BY A PERSON’S LIFESTYLE AND SLEEPING HABITS.

The most common cause of snoring is a blockage of flowing air through the passages located at the back of the mouth and the nose. This is caused by the throat becoming relaxed enough during sleep that it partially blocks the airway, resulting in vibrations that occur when breathing. Since the throat must be very relaxed for this to happen, snoring usually takes place when a person is in their deepest level of sleep. Although snoring can be annoying for the snorer and their partner, it is most often not a serious problem.

Do you have any of the following signs of sleep apnea or sleep disordered breathing?

Feeling tired even after getting eight hours of sleep
Grogginess during the day
Headaches upon waking up
Being unable to focus
Snoring
Waking up in the night while gasping for air

If so, then it’s time to speak to someone about airway dentistry and how it can benefit you and your loved ones.

Treatments for sleep apnea and snoring

Although snoring and sleep apnea are heavily correlated, they have very different treatment methods.

Making some slight changes can drastically reduce a person’s snoring habit. These changes include:

Weight loss
Cutting back on sleeping pills, antihistamines, and tranquilizers
Reducing consumption of alcohol
Sleeping on the side instead of the back
Elevating the head while asleep

Obstructive sleep apnea is more serious, and medical intervention is often recommended. Some treatment methods for sleep apnea include:

Mouth Guards
CPAP Devices
EPAP Therapy
Surgery
