Obstructive sleep apnoea is often dismissed as heavy snoring, yet it repeatedly interrupts breathing and reduces sleep quality throughout the night. Untreated cases are associated with high blood pressure, heart disease and a greater chance of stroke.

The condition is common but frequently unrecognised because the sleeper may not remember the breathing interruptions. A partner often notices the clearest warning signs first, while daytime exhaustion can be mistaken for stress or ordinary poor sleep.
