THE SNORE CLINIC
GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP
HOW SNORING IMPACT SLEEP
Acute snoring can severely impact on normal sleeping patterns of both the patient and sleeping partner, causing exhaustion and a lowered immune system. Over an extended period of time, serious snorers may also develop more severe conditions such as sleep apnea. Emotionally, snoring can affect the relationship that snorers have with those around them. Many partners of snorers become resentful due to the fact that they are deprived of sleep on an ongoing basis.
WE ARE A PROFESSIONAL
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
How to diagnose
To diagnose OSA, the patient should answer a questioner (Epworth Sleep Scale) which will indicate if apnea is present and the severity of the apnea. The answers will indicate whether the patient should be treated by means of an Oral Appliance or have a polysomnograph (PSG) to test for apnea and its severity.
