Book Overview

The National Sleep Foundation estimates that 80 million Americans snore routinely. Studies have shown that left untreated, loud snoring can shorten your life expectancy by ten years. Snoring is also the leading symptom for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) which affects an estimated 30 million Americans. Unfortunately, 90 % of people who suffer from this condition are currently undiagnosed. Left untreated, OSA can lead to high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, stroke and even heart attack. It can also negatively impact our relationships, careers, happiness, and our overall well-being. If you, or someone you know, is a loud snorer and may be suffering from OSA, you're about to become an expert. The easy to read information is presented from a patient's prospective.
