Myapneapath

A 2012 study published in Sleep found that symptoms of OSA are associated with a greater likelihood of depression. According to the study, over 50% of those diagnosed with sleep apnea also suffer from anxiety and depression. Unsurprisingly, a study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research noted that over 14% of adults with major depressive disorder also suffered from sleep apnea.

Problems associated with lack of sleep affect everyone regardless of age. We all know that lack of sleep causes irritability, anxiety, and sleepiness. Adults getting less than 7 hours of sleep every night have problems focusing on work, are less productive and are unable to meet life's challenges head-on. Children who wake without a good night's sleep perform worse in school and suffer from emotional adjustment problems.
