Feeling exhausted despite “sleeping through the night”? Chronic fatigue can be a sign of disrupted breathing during sleep—even in people who don’t snore.
⠀
Conditions like Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) and other sleep-disordered breathing patterns often go unnoticed because they’re quiet, but they still strain the body, fragment sleep, and impact daytime energy, mood, and overall health.
⠀
If you’re waking up tired, struggling to focus, or feeling worn out by midday, it may be worth exploring your airway health and getting a comprehensive evaluation. Early identification and the right treatment plan can make a life-changing difference.

The progression of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing
👅😮‍💨😴
What often starts as something subtle—like low tongue posture or intermittent mouth breathing—can gradually develop into noisy breathing, habitual snoring, restless sleep, and eventually obstructive sleep apnea. Each stage reflects increasing strain on a child’s airway, sleep quality, behavior, growth, and overall health.

Early recognition is key. Most of these signs are visible long before a formal diagnosis, which is why routine screening matters. One simple tool that anyone can use—parents, educators, dentists, pediatricians, SLPs, hygienists, and more—is the FAIREST 6 Red Flags of Pediatric Sleep-Disordered Breathing. It’s a quick, accessible way to identify concerns early and help children get the support they need.

Early signs of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) often show up long before a formal diagnosis is made. Chronic mouth breathing, noisy or effortful breathing, restless sleep, and daytime behavioral or focus challenges can all be subtle red flags that something deeper is going on with airway function.

Recognizing these patterns early is key. When addressed promptly, we can support healthier breathing habits, guide proper orofacial growth, and help prevent the progression toward more serious conditions like obstructive sleep apnea.

If you or your child show signs of disrupted sleep or inefficient breathing, a comprehensive airway evaluation can make all the difference. Early intervention = better long-term outcomes.

“Good-Bye Tongue-Tie” is finally here. After more than four years of work, countless revisions, and a team committed to getting this right (by hand, the old fashioned way), The Breathe Institute is proud to share a new illustrated children’s book, created to support airway and tongue-tie focused practices and their patients.

This project was a true labor of love. It was written by Chad, Leyli, and Dr. Zaghi, along with storyboards from Chad, initial illustration by Julia Huang(a former Breathe Institute medical assistant who later graduated from Georgetown Medical School and is now a USC resident) with plans to pursue an endocrinology fellowship. The artwork was then fleshed out and colored by Rita Lichtwardt, an accomplished illustrator whose credits include Mattel, Riot Games, and Hasbro to name a few. Every page was drawn to help children feel at ease, better understand their bodies, and feel less anxious about a procedure that can support facial growth, tongue mobility, and airway development.

“Good-Bye Tongue-Tie” gives young patients a calm, clear, and accurate explanation of evaluations, myofunctional therapy, and the release process. Many clinics are already adding it to consultations, waiting rooms, and post-op kits.

Bulk quantities are now available directly from The Breathe Institute (email courses@thebreatheinstitute.com)

Did you know? A tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) can impact far more than just speech — it can affect breathing, feeding, sleep, and overall oral function.

👶 For infants, restricted tongue movement can make breastfeeding difficult, leading to poor latch, maternal discomfort, and inadequate feeding.

🍽️ For children and adults, it can contribute to difficulty chewing, swallowing, and maintaining oral hygiene — as well as improper tongue posture, which may lead to mouth breathing and malocclusion.

😴 During sleep, a restricted tongue may rest low in the mouth, contributing to mouth breathing and disrupted sleep patterns.

Tongue-tie is a structural issue with functional consequences — but with proper diagnosis and treatment, long-term improvements in breathing, sleep, and oral function are possible.
