Did you know, that the National Commission on sleep disorders attributes approximately 38,000 cardiovascular deaths to sleep apnea. This is a chronic condition where the air passage in the throat becomes blocked, preventing the air from entering the lungs. This blockage is repeated throughout the night for as much as hundred times an hour.
Unfortunately the people suffering with this type of Obstructive Sleep Apnea don't even realise this struggle for air and oxygen while they are sleeping. Since they do not get their required peaceful sleep, these people might suffer from any of these symptoms.

Frequent Nighttime Urination, Morning Headaches
Irritability, Daytime Sleepiness
Memory Loss, Lack of Energy
Drowsy Driving, Excessive Stress

So find out if you have Sleep Apnea!
