Welcome to the September issue of Wake Up! You’re Snoring… September is back to school for our children — it’s also a good time for many adults to become educated about the true risks associated with untreated sleep apnea. In this issue, we look at the findings of recent studies linking severe sleep apnea with cancer. We also share an interesting theory from a doctor in Scotland who believes that our irregular sleep and eat cycles may be contributing to the global obesity epidemic.
We hope you find this issue interesting and informative — please forward this newsletter to anyone who may benefit from the information.
If you suspect you have sleep apnea or another sleep-related disorder, please call us and schedule an appointment.
