Why is Treatment for Sleep Disorders Important?
Sleep is essential for good health. Inadequate sleep quality can affect all areas of your life from your mental and physical health, to your motivation and productivity, to your personal relationships.
Protect Your Health
Sleep apnea is a serious health problem that can be life threatening if left undiagnosed and untreated.
The lack of oxygen to your brain during sleep apnea can have serious, long-term health consequences: 3
- 3 times greater risk of heart disease
- 4 times greater risk of stroke
- 6 times greater risk of being involved in a car crash
Protect Your Quality of Life
Sleep apnea is a chronic health problem and a progressive condition that can potentially worsen over time. 4Your health, well-being and quality of life are at stake. Addressing your sleep disorders and finding the right treatment will let you enjoy restful sleep, energetic days, and a healthier lifestyle.
Protect Those Around You
Eliminating persistent snoring and the disruption of frequent waking caused by sleep apnea allows you and your family to have uninterrupted sleep and better family dynamics.
It’s not worth the increased risks of early death associated with untreated obstructive sleep apnea when you consider the numerous types of treatment that are available.
