If you're getting your 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night but still waking up groggy and drained, there’s a good chance something deeper is going on — and it might be sleep apnea.

At Breathe Superspeciality Clinic, Guwahati, we often meet people — especially working adults and those with a bit of extra weight — who come in saying, “I sleep plenty, but I’m always tired.” In many cases, what they’re really dealing with is an undiagnosed sleep disorder that affects both their nights and their days.

Let’s break down what sleep apnea is, why it matters, and what you can do about it — including a simple, comfortable home sleep study we offer right here at Breathe Clinic.


So, What Exactly Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing stops and starts multiple times while you’re asleep. It’s not just about snoring — it’s about your body not getting the oxygen it needs at night.

The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where relaxed throat muscles block your airway. This makes your sleep light, interrupted, and far less restorative than it should be.

Are You at Risk?

Anyone can develop sleep apnea, but certain people are more vulnerable:

  • If you’re overweight
  • Over 35 years old
  • Have a thicker neck or smaller airway
  • Snore loudly or gasp for air in sleep
  • Feel sleepy during the day despite sleeping enough

We’ve seen a pattern at Breathe Clinic Guwahati — busy professionals who blame work stress for their exhaustion, when sleep apnea is the real reason they’re running on empty.


Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Here are some of the most common symptoms we see in patients with sleep apnea:

  • Loud, chronic snoring
  • Waking up gasping or choking
  • Dry mouth or sore throat in the morning
  • Headaches right after waking up
  • Struggling to concentrate at work
  • Moodiness or even mild depression
  • Waking up several times to use the bathroom

If you’re nodding along to more than a couple of these, it’s time to take a closer look. At Breathe Superspeciality Clinic, we help you figure out whether sleep apnea is behind the fatigue.


Why This Isn’t Just “Poor Sleep”

Sleep apnea doesn’t just make you feel tired — it can lead to much more serious problems down the road, such as:

  • High blood pressure
  • Increased risk of stroke and heart disease
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Memory and concentration issues
  • Mood disorders like anxiety and depression

That’s why we take sleep apnea seriously at Breathe Clinic Guwahati — and why we recommend not brushing off the signs.

Treatment Options That Actually Work

If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, don’t worry — we’ve got your back. Here’s how we treat it at Breathe Clinic:

1. Lifestyle Tweaks

Sometimes, small changes make a big difference. We’ll help you with:

  • Weight management
  • Cutting down alcohol
  • Sleep positioning
  • Improving bedtime habits

2. CPAP Therapy

For moderate to severe cases, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy is the gold standard. A CPAP machine keeps your airway open with a gentle flow of air while you sleep.

At Breathe Superspeciality Clinic, we:

  • Help you find the right CPAP device
  • Train you to use it properly
  • Offer ongoing support so it doesn’t feel overwhelming

3. Snoring Solutions

For milder cases or those not ready for CPAP, we also explore options like custom oral devices and positional therapy — all available through our clinic.

When Should You Come See Us?

Here’s a quick checklist:

  • You snore loudly, most nights
  • You still feel tired after a full night’s sleep
  • You’ve noticed mood changes, headaches, or poor focus
  • You’ve been told you stop breathing or gasp during sleep
  • You have high blood pressure or are overweight

If you checked even a few of these boxes, we highly recommend scheduling a sleep screening at Breathe Superspeciality Clinic, Guwahati.
