You booked the trip. Packed the bags. Maybe even upgraded to a better room. But instead of waking up energized, you’re dragging through the day—grumpy, exhausted, and keeping your travel companions up with noisy snoring. If that sounds all too familiar, undiagnosed sleep apnea could be the hidden reason your trip didn’t go as planned. This was supposed to be a vacation, not a sleep-deprived struggle.
When Snoring Isn’t Just Snoring
Obstructive sleep apnea happens when the airway collapses during sleep, leading to loud snoring, gasping, and frequent awakenings. You may not even remember the interruptions—but your body does.
The result? Chronic fatigue, morning headaches, difficulty concentrating, and low energy that follows you everywhere… even to paradise.
Why Summer Makes It Worse
Hotter nights, unfamiliar sleeping environments, and late-night eating or drinking can all exacerbate sleep apnea symptoms.
Add jet lag or long drives to the mix, and it’s no wonder you’re more tired on vacation than off. If your partner’s also losing sleep thanks to your snoring, it creates double the frustration.
Travel-Friendly Relief Is Possible
At Valley Dental and Orthodontics, we offer custom oral appliances that gently reposition the jaw and tongue to keep your airway open. These compact devices are far more comfortable and convenient than bulky CPAP machines—perfect for travel and everyday use. Many patients notice better sleep and more energy within just a few nights of use.
