Sleep disorders such as OSA or Obstructive Sleep Apnea affect millions of people worldwide. Those who suffer from sleep disorders are prone to the often unbearable symptoms such as insomnia, persistent sleep deprivation, and restless legs syndrome. Over one third of the world population is estimated to be battling these types of conditions on a nightly basis, and for those who haven’t experienced the symptoms yet, the future is not very bright as many of these symptoms become progressively apparent with age. Moderate snoring is often a precursor to sleeping disorders, and unfortunately usually goes unnoticed for too long. It is estimated that 80 to 90 percent of adults with OSA remain dangerously undiagnosed.
The effects of OSA can be far reaching and often extend into our daily lives, making us forgetful, irritable, and severely tired; all things which will strain the important relationships we have with our family, friends, and colleagues. With this website, we are making a crucial effort to call attention to these disorders in the hope that more people will take notice of these dangerous conditions and seek available and effective treatments. Furthermore, we also endeavor to provide you with the best possible information, which will allow you to more effectively discuss your options with your health care provider.
