❌ Myth: “If I don’t snore every night, I don’t have sleep apnea.”

✅ Fact: Sleep apnea symptoms can vary from night to night. Even occasional snoring, gasping, or pauses in breathing can signal a larger issue.

If daytime fatigue or unrefreshing sleep persists, it’s worth talking to a healthcare provider about evaluation and treatment options.

Sleep apnea doesn’t just impact the person with the diagnosis — it often affects their partner, too.

Loud snoring, restless nights, and frequent awakenings can not only disrupt sleep partners, it can also impact the relationship overall. Getting screened for sleep apnea can help restore quiet, restful nights for both partners.

Sleep apnea is a serious condition — and understanding your treatment options is key to protecting long-term health.

In a recent Upper Michigan Today segment, AADSM board member Dr. Paul Jacobs, DDS, joined the conversation to explain how dental sleep medicine and oral appliance therapy can help patients manage sleep apnea effectively.

The in-depth interview covers symptoms, risks of untreated sleep apnea, and how oral appliances fit into a patient’s overall care plan.

🎥 Watch the full segment:

Quality sleep supports heart health, mental clarity, mood, and energy. If loud snoring or ongoing fatigue is holding you back, it may be time to explore treatment options for sleep apnea.

Oral appliance therapy offers a comfortable, effective way to improve sleep and protect long-term health.
