There are countless diseases, illnesses, and various kinds of accidents that can adversely effect the lives of people on a daily basis. That we don’t die at a much earlier age than we do is a true testament to the flexibility of the human condition. Whoever designed us knew what She was doing.

However, there is one condition that millions likely suffer from and don’t realize. One condition that can potentially lead to a worsening of all the other conditions, because this one condition robs us of the most needed resource that our body uses to regroup and rebuild: Sleep.

One of the main reasons that many of the sufferers of sleep apnea don’t realize that they have this life stealing condition is that most sleep apnea symptoms present themselves at night. Even when people wake up because of them, it is very brief, and they don’t remember the next morning.

What is the best way to detect these apnea symptoms, so you and your doctor will have a fighting chance? Knowledge is power. Apnea, by definition is any time you stop breathing momentarily while sleeping. If you snore, this will be obvious to an observer. You will suddenly be quiet, and then start snoring again. If you have spouse or partner you can check with, this would be a great help.

While awake, you also may be showing signs. Headaches, drowsiness, inability to concentrate are indications you may be suffering from sleep apnea. Of course, these by themselves can mean all kinds of things, so you’ll need a combination of both daytime and nighttime symptoms.

The best thing to do is collect as many pieces of information, or evidence, that you can and present them all to your doctor, so he or she will have a much better chance of accurately diagnosing you.

Last week I went with my girlfriend to get her hair done. She had spent a considerable amount of time driving me around while I was getting my car worked on, so I kind of owed her. It’s one of those give and take things that are necessary for a healthy relationship.

The problem was when I started falling asleep while the lady was giving the beginning instructions. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t keep my eyes opened. Which seemed strange because I went to bed the same time as always the night before, and woke up the same time on that day.

This worried my girlfriend. Her brother had a big problem with sleep apnea. One of the symptoms is snoring, and he used to keep his whole family awake at night. That is one of the symptoms. So when he checked it out with the doctor, they learned the dangers of untreated sleep apnea.

Some of the common symptoms are waking up several times during the night for no reason, excessive snoring, headaches during the day, and feeling tired when you are bored. If you get enough sleep, when you are bored, you should just be bored, and not tired. This is why my girlfriend was worried.

Now my girlfriend doesn’t know if I snore or not, but she was kind of worried since I was so sleepy during the day. She also noted that other times I felt tired when I shouldn’t have. Like the other night when I fell asleep during the romance comedy we were watching.

The doctor told me it was too early to tell. He suggested I pay close attention to my feelings and my sleep the next few days, and to look out for symptoms like daytime headaches, and waking up during the night for no reason. Then he can figure out an appropriate treatment.
