Many people assume that loud, disruptive snoring is the main sign of sleep apnea. While snoring is common, it is not always loud or obvious. In fact, some people with sleep apnea snore very quietly or do not think they snore at all. This can make the condition harder to recognize and easier to ignore.

Sleep should be a time when your body recovers and resets. For people with sleep apnea, breathing repeatedly stops and starts during the night, preventing truly restful sleep. Over time, these disruptions can affect far more than energy levels. Untreated sleep apnea can impact the brain, heart, and overall health in serious ways.
