7 Symptoms That You Don’t Breathe Well While Asleep

SLEEP APNEA SIGNAL: YOU’RE MOODY AND YOUR MEMORY IS SHOT

Mood changes and difficulty with memory and concentration stem from the sleep deprivation that comes along with sleep apnea, explains Dr. Breus.

When you’re waking up more than five to 15 times an hour, your body isn’t settling into the deep, restorative stages of sleep it needs to function properly.

This can negatively impact how well you remember small details, like where you parked your car, and also has an effect on how well you can focus on tasks. And, as you can imagine, a night of terrible sleep can leave you feeling pretty crabby or low, especially when it’s every night.
