After everything you two have been through together, it\u2019s time to celebrate your love. While a candle-lit dinner with roses may be a romantic gesture, if you have chronic snoring, what your partner may really need and appreciate is a peaceful night\u2019s rest. Now is the perfect time to finally address your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/sleep-apnea-therapy.html\">sleep apnea<\/a> and allow you both to recharge as a couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Sleep Apnea Should Be Treated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, snoring may just seem like an annoying quirk. However, these frequent interruptions to your sleep can be a sign of a more serious condition. Sleep apnea occurs when your airway is blocked, and the snoring sound often indicates that you could be struggling to breathe while you sleep. As a result, your brain doesn\u2019t get the chance to achieve deep rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re not able to get the right amount and quality of sleep, you run the risk of many potentially life-threatening outcomes. For instance, studies have found that drowsy driving is comparably dangerous to drunk driving. Sleep apnea also increases your risk of developing high blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Sleep Apnea Impacts Your Relationship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you try to convince yourself that you can get by without treating this condition in other areas of your life; however, untreated sleep apnea comes with many other unpleasant effects on your relationships with others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Memory loss<\/li><li>Inability to focus<\/li><li>Weight gain<\/li><li>Daytime fatigue<\/li><li>Irritability or mood swings<\/li><li>Loss of libido or inability to perform<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although every healthy romantic relationship goes through bumps every now and then, moodiness or irritability can make fighting over insignificant issues a regular occurrence, leading to emotional dissatisfaction. And last, but certainly not least, what partnership can last without physical intimacy? Consistent failure in this essential part of romance can build a rift between you and the person you love most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Sleep Apnea Is Treated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, sleep apnea sufferers can use a CPAP machine, which forces oxygen into the body through a mask. However, as you might imagine, this system is often more disruptive to sleep than snoring. As another treatment option, your dentist can provide a small, custom oral appliance that brings the lower jaw forward, naturally opening the airway while you sleep. This simple alternative allows your mind and body, and by extension your partner, to rest peacefully through the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, you should probably still move forward with the romantic gestures you have planned for Valentine\u2019s Day, but you can also take measures to make sure you both can stay well rested, healthy, and happy for many more Valentines to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the dentists and specialists at Brooks Dental come from different backgrounds, they all feel a strong drive to help patients achieve not just oral health but overall wellness.
