Spending time in Mallorca can be an opportunity to rest and enjoy a slower pace of life. But if you sleep enough hours and still wake up tired, it is worth paying attention to the quality of your sleep.<\/p>\n
When snoring comes with other signs<\/p>\n
Snoring does not necessarily mean you have sleep apnoea. However, loud snoring accompanied by pauses in breathing, waking up gasping for air or excessive daytime sleepiness should be medically assessed.<\/p>\n
Often, a partner is the first to notice these signs during the night.<\/p>\n
What is sleep apnoea?<\/p>\n
Sleep apnoea is a condition in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. In its most common form, the airway narrows or becomes blocked while you sleep.<\/p>\n
This can disrupt your sleep and cause tiredness, difficulty concentrating or headaches on waking.<\/p>\n
An assessment to identify the cause<\/p>\n
Your doctor will review your symptoms and decide whether you need a sleep study. Treatment depends on the diagnosis and may include lifestyle changes, devices such as CPAP or other options.<\/p>\n
If sleepiness affects your ability to drive, avoid driving and seek medical advice.<\/p>\n
Sleeping well is also part of your stay<\/p>\n
If tiredness is affecting your plans on the island, make time for a medical assessment.<\/p>\n
