“The greatest joys of treating sleep apnea are two fold. Subjectively our patients feel more refreshed in the morning and experience less snoring. This leads to happier bed partners, which then leads to healthier relationships! Secondly, those patients with diagnosed sleep apnea generally see a significant reduction in the number of apnea events per hour (AHI). They are happier and healthier! “
