Yes, we do have long winters in New England. But your chronic sleepiness and weariness may have to do more with your sleep and physiology than the weather! Don’t blame the weather for what might be a more serious health issue.
If you are not getting adequate sleep because of sleep interruptions such as snoring, getting poked by your partner to stop snoring, or other breathing related difficulties while you sleep, there is a strong possibility that you will not only feel chronically lackluster, but are also putting yourself at a greater risk for diseases. Many of these are widespread in our society and they are: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, obesity, chronic infections, and more.
Want to cure your snoring? You can do that, and we can help, but you also owe it to yourself to find out if there is more to it. There are easy home test kits available now that allow you to sleep in your own bed and can be used to screen for the presence of underlying abnormalities in breathing such as sleep apnea.
If you would like to try a home sleep test, drop us a note on our Facebook page or contact us to schedule a no-obligation consultation, and see if you’re a candidate for our sleep apnea treatments.
