Have you ever woken up in the morning after a full night’s sleep just to feel drained and exhausted? If so, you may be suffering from sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea refers to a condition in which your airways become blocked or obstructed during the night. This causes your breathing to stop and restart which interrupts your sleep cycle.
