Sleep apnea in children has also been linked to academic underachievement and poor intellectual development.
If you have sleep apnea, you aren’t the only one being affected by the symptoms. Your bed partner may also suffer from your snoring, or see signs of what sleep apnea has done to you.

A neck size of 17” or larger is a good indicator of this disorder, and it doesn’t matter if it’s muscle or fat.
