Sleep apnea is a serious condition that can lead to many other health problems. It occurs when the airway gets blocked repeatedly during sleep, preventing enough oxygen from reaching your brain. This can cause fatigue, daytime drowsiness, and even memory problems.
There is no mistaking the telltale signs of sleep apnea: loud snoring, restless sleep, and interruptions in breathing during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. If you are concerned about your health and believe that you may have sleep apnea, it is important to get tested.
The WatchPAT ONE Home Sleep Apnea Test in California will help you determine if you are susceptible to this condition.

Sleep Apnea only affects the quality of life but also increases the risk of developing other health problems, including heart disease and stroke. There are many risk factors associated with sleep apnea. Some of these include being overweight or obese, having a history of heart disease or stroke, and using tobacco products.
Additionally, certain drugs may increase your risk: Examples include over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen and painkillers such as codeine.
If you have any of the above risk factors for sleep apnea, it is important to seek out help from a doctor. In some cases, treatment can involve fixing the underlying cause – such as obesity or high blood pressure – and/or using devices to help with breathing at night.
