Can Sleep Apnea Affect Your Mood?
Sleep apnea can significantly affect your overall health in a negative way. It can also affect your mood. Patients who suffer from sleep apnea and are not being treated do not get quality sleep at night. Your body needs adequate sleep to function properly every day. If you have a young child or baby in your life, you know that the day after a poor night’s sleep can be challenging for everyone. A child will become cranky, irritable, and difficult to calm down. While adults may not act as badly as children, their moods can be rather similar.

What Happens If Sleep Apnea Is Left Untreated?
Sleeping well every night is one of the best things you can do for your mind and your overall health. Unfortunately, patients who suffer from sleep apnea are not getting the full night’s rest they need to function properly. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which the soft tissues in the back of the throat relax during sleep, obstructing the airway and limiting proper oxygen flow. More than 22 million people suffer from the effects of sleep apnea. Although there are many people who have been diagnosed, there are still more who have yet to receive a diagnosis or who are not receiving treatment once diagnosed. When sleep apnea remains untreated, it can be extremely damaging to your overall health and lead to serious health complications.
Tips For Better Sleep
Quality sleep is important to help us function properly in our daily lives. Sleep is essential to your physical and mental health. When you are sleeping, your body and mind are taking that time to reset and recharge for the next day. When quality sleep is lacking or you frequently wake from issues such as sleep apnea, it begins to affect multiple areas of your daily life, from energy to weight loss or weight gain to mood. Poor sleep can also lead to serious health issues related to high blood pressure, increased heart disease, kidney disease, and diabetes. There are simple changes you can make to help improve your quality of sleep. Read on to learn these helpful tips and suggestions.

Unfortunately, sleep apnea often remains undetected because people disregard their symptoms or don’t know who to see for a diagnosis. At Atlas Orofacial Pain & Apnea Group, we specialize in diagnosing and treating patients who experience symptoms of sleep apnea.
