Are you living with excess weight, particularly around your waistline or neck? The burdens of being overweight extend beyond physical discomfort and self-consciousness; they also compound the challenge of losing that extra weight. The struggle intensifies if you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea and weight have a reciprocal relationship, with each condition worsening the other if neglected. Obesity is a leading risk factor for sleep apnea, significantly influencing the sufferer's ability to breathe. If you're overweight, you're also more likely to snore, a factor that can intensify sleep apnea.

Studies indicate that sleep apnea, by deteriorating sleep quality and leading to extreme daytime fatigue, often contributes to weight gain. Most sufferers feel too tired to engage in physical activities, and maintaining a balanced diet becomes increasingly difficult.
