Snoring

During sleep, your tongue and throat tissues may relax enough to narrow your airway. Snoring is that sound that is produced when air passes through this partially blocked area causing tissues to vibrate.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

OSA is a medical condition where your tongue and soft tissues actually close off your airwar and stop air from entering you lungs. When this happens during sleep, the oxygen in your blood decreases, your heart races, and your brain panics - causing you to startle aware. After a few good breaths, the cycle repeats itself, all night long.
