As seen in the New York Post.
Don’t sleep on this warning.
A sleep scientist has revealed the most commonly overlooked symptom of the dangerous sleep disorder that affects millions of Americans — urging them to pay closer attention to the quality of their nightly shuteye.
“Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an extremely common condition, impacting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Yet, millions suffer in silence because common symptoms of OSA may be overlooked or difficult to detect because they occur during sleep,” sleep scientist Dr. Joachim Behar told The Post (opens in a new tab).
OSA occurs when the throat muscles relax and block the airway repeatedly during sleep.
Dr. Joachim Behar is a professor in the Technion Faculty of Biomedical Engineering.
