Mouth breather; a condition so bad it’s become an insult. Maybe that’s because mouth breathing can cause bad breath, brain fog, and chronic fatigue? Yet if you also suffer from sleep apnea, mouth breathing can be dangerous, leading to a loss of air pressure and reducing the effectiveness of your CPAP therapy.
Luckily, for CPAP users the solution can be as simple as finding the right CPAP mask!
What is sleep apnea? If you are asking this question then what if you are not just tired? People all across the nation are afflicted with sleep apnea. They are waking up multiple times in the night, feel exhausted in the morning, and battle fatigue all day long.
You went to see your doctor, and after some discussion about your sleep problems he may have referred you for a sleep study. A sleep study measures what is happening while you sleep. For a slightly more detailed picture of your sleep performance, you spend the night in a sleep lab.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has guidelines concerning screening for sleep apnea. If a driver goes to their DOT physical and the physician suspects the driver may be at risk for sleep apnea, the doctor may recommend a sleep study.
