How Snoring Affects the People Around You
Your snoring can take a heavy toll on the people around you, especially your spouse or sleep partner. In fact, heavy snoring may keep your partner awake at night, creating tension that tears at the fabric of a relationship.
Sharing a bed with someone who snores often results in chronic sleeplessness for a spouse or sleep partner. This can adversely affect a person’s mood, cognitive abilities, and even their health. Common side effects for people who sleep with a heavy snorer include irritability, depressed immune system, and high blood pressure.
Snore Guard: Affordable, Comfortable, Convenient
A snore guard from Dr. Schumacher is custom-designed to treat your snoring. Also known as an oral appliance, a snore guard is a small device that you wear while you sleep. It opens up the airway by gently shifting the position of your lower jaw.
Treatment That Works
Heavy snoring is a major symptom of sleep apnea, but millions of people who snore don’t suffer from sleep apnea. Dr. Schumacher can arrange for you to get a sleep study to determine if your snoring is a sign of sleep apnea.
If it turns out that your heavy snoring is unrelated to sleep apnea, we can still treat your snoring with a convenient oral appliance that won’t interfere with your lifestyle.
