Feeling tired during the day is often blamed on a busy schedule, but persistent fatigue may signal an underlying sleep disorder. Obstructive sleep apnea causes repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, reducing oxygen levels and disrupting restorative rest. Common signs include loud snoring, morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Left untreated, sleep apnea may increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and accidents caused by drowsiness. If you regularly wake feeling unrefreshed or struggle to stay alert, speak with our team about whether a sleep assessment may be appropriate.
