Snoring is the effect of strange breathing noises that takes place as you sleep. These noises are due to a difficulty in breathing which is caused when there is blockage to the airways. People who have mild snoring problems do not have sleep disturbances at all. They can snore all through the night while asleep and feel completely rested the next day.
Sleep apnea, on the other hand, is a serious health condition, that causes sleep interruption. Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder that's closely related to snoring. In sleep apnea, there is a blockage to the throat. The airways completely closed off while you sleep and so the lack of oxygen to the lungs causes you to wake up. If left untreated, sleep apnea can cause serious oxygen deprivation to the body and affect energy levels significantly.
People who snore or have sleep apnea may have these signs and symptoms in common:
* Snorting or gasping sounds during sleep
* Low energy, tiredness, sluggishness
* Concentration problems
* Difficulties with memory retention
* Irritability or being short-tempered
If snoring or sleep apnea is affecting your health and lifestyle to a great extent, then it is best to consult with a doctor to get the right evaluation and treatment immediately. For mild cases, it may only require a few simple changes like losing weight and improving sleeping habits.
