The root cause of many ailments from metabolic syndrome to cardiac failure.

Sleep apnoea is a condition that causes poor sleep quality due to uncontrollable pauses in breathing, taking shallow breaths during sleep and suddenly waking up startled -usually sounding like a break in their snoring. Someone with sleep apnoea might repeatedly stop breathing up to 30 times per hour per night, often for very brief moments of time and without the person being aware of it at all. In fact, a scary finding is that most people with sleep apnoea think that they actually sleep well!

Missing sleep can take years off your life. Long-term complications of sleep apnoea can include metabolic syndrome, unexplained weight gain, chronic fatigue, dark circles under the eyes, an increased risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, depression, memory problems, viruses and sexual dysfunction.
