Sleep apnea occurs when the body periodically fails to breathe during sleep. Sleep apnea can be caused by a myriad of factors. However, no matter the cause, the result remains the same: Productivity and attentiveness plummet as a result.
Often times, the symptoms of sleep apnea are misdiagnosed as ADHD. This is dangerous as it could result in being wrongly treated and given medication for the wrong condition.
