- Learn the symptoms of sleep apnea. According to the American Seep Disorder Association, 75-90% of all sleep disorders and never diagnosed. This is often because OSA sufferers are unaware of whether or not their symptoms are a sign of a serious breathing disorder. As such, family members, especially spouses, most frequently witness the periods of apnea. Symptoms include: loud snoring, periods of not breathing (apnea), awakening not rested in the morning, abnormal daytime sleepiness, including falling asleep at inappropriate times, morning headaches, weight gain, limited attention, memory loss, poor judgment, personality changes, lethargy.
