Sleep apnea occurs when throat muscles relax during sleep, obstructing the airway and reducing oxygen in the blood. This causes brief awakenings that patients often don't remember. Left untreated, it can cause excessive daytime sleepiness. While CPAP is commonly used, many find it uncomfortable. Alternative treatments include exercises to strengthen throat muscles like the tongue, jaw, and soft palate. Lifestyle changes such as weight loss and quitting smoking may also help reduce sleep apnea.
