John is exhausted all the time, which is odd, because he falls asleep every night at 10 P.M., like clockwork, and doesn't wake u
ntil 6:00 A.M. the next day. He says that other than his wife complaining that his snores could wake the dead, he doesn't think he has a sleep problem. What is John most likely suffering from and what treatment would you recommend?
There are different treatments for sleep apnea. Most patients are told to stop drinking alcohol and smoking, and also start eating healthier or lose weight in some cases. However, there are also specific devices that people can use while they sleep and it helps reducing apnea. People have to go to the doctor to treat sleep apnea because these treatments can vary.
