Sleep Apnea
It’s more than snoring
While it’s often a punchline, snoring can be the first obvious symptom of sleep apnea, a serious medical disorder that causes throat muscles to collapse into the airway, pausing breathing and depriving the body and brain of oxygen. It is one of the costliest and most common health problems. Yet once diagnosed, it’s easily treated, and the harmful health and cost impacts drop dramatically.

Why it’s going undiagnosed
The simple answer? Human nature. The gold standard for sleep testing involves waiting for an
overnight lab appointment, being connected to many invasive wires and monitored all night.
Whether it’s the wait time, the discomfort or the inconvenience, many sufferers resist getting
tested. COVID-19 has contributed to the reluctance to visit a lab.
