Sleepiness and fatigue can greatly impact day-to-day living. From driving a car to attending school to trying to complete work or errands, poor sleep can result in poor performance. Much like diet and exercise are key components to good health, so is adequate sleep. Sleep health refers not only to the importance of good sleep hygiene and sleep quantity (rearranging work schedules to better fit your lifestyle, decreasing screen time prior to going to bed, or going to bed 30 minutes earlier), but also to the proper treatment of sleep disorders that can disrupt a good night’s sleep as well.

Associated health risks such as stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease can be decreased when sleep apnea is properly managed.
