Consistent daytime fatigue and tiredness may not be normal.

Consistent daytime fatigue and tiredness are common symptoms of sleep apnea.¹

As sleep apnea disrupts your nightly sleep patterns, it can cause you to feel as if you’re sleepwalking through life. On average, people experience symptoms of sleep apnea for eight years before seeking treatment.²

Sleep is essential to health, and good sleep is medicine. ³ Quality sleep helps the body improve its immune system, maintain a healthy weight, and lower the risk of chronic diseases. ⁴ By talking to your doctor about sleep, you can work together to determine if a sleep disorder is preventing your body from getting the sleep it needs.

Sleep and weight management are closely linked.

Poor sleep can lead to excess weight, and excess weight can make it harder to get a good night’s sleep. Talk about a vicious cycle.

Excess weight significantly increases the odds of developing sleep apnea, while sleep apnea can contribute to metabolic and hormonal changes that cause excess weight. ⁵

By better understanding the link between sleep health and weight management, you can take the right steps to improve your overall wellness and reach your health goals.
