Maybe you just need to go bed earlier and at a more consistent time each night. In other cases, though, the fix may involve the diagnosis and treatment of a common but under-diagnosed condition known as <b>sleep apnea<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Patients who struggle with <b>sleep apnea<\/b> stop breathing for 10 seconds or more throughout the night. As a result, the brain to send out a signal waking the patient up to take a breath.<\/p>\n<p>Not every patient wakes up completely, though, which is why some patients don&#8217;t even know they are struggling with it. If you haven&#8217;t been diagnosed with <b>sleep apnea<\/b> but think you&#8217;re struggling with it, here&#8217;s a symptom to watch out for: snoring.<\/p>\n<p>Often, the cause of a patient&#8217;s snoring and the cause of a patient&#8217;s <b>sleep apnea<\/b> go back to the same thing: obstruction from the tongue or lower jaw. Thankfully, there&#8217;s treatment for both at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cranbrookdentalcare.com\/about-us.html\">Dr. Banda&#8217;s<\/a> office in <b>Bloomfield Hills<\/b>.
