Signs You May Have Sleep Apnea

The sleep disorder called “apnea” is identified by interruptions in breathing during the night that interfere with a normal sleep cycle. This can be caused by blockages of the airway by the tongue and collapsed tissues in the throat.

• Do you snore?
• Has anyone ever said that you stop breathing during the night?
• Do you ever wake up feeling like you are choking or gasping for air?
• Are you sleepy during the day?
• Are you having trouble working or concentrating?
• Do you fall asleep while reading or watching TV or a movie?
• Have you ever almost fallen asleep while driving?

If any of this sounds familiar, it is important to get a sleep test as soon as possible to determine the seriousness of your case.

Boise Sleep Apnea Support That Fits Life in the Treasure Valley

Living in Boise often means early commutes, busy family schedules, and weekends packed with time outdoors. When sleep apnea gets in the way, the impact can show up fast—morning headaches, brain fog at work, and that heavy afternoon fatigue that makes errands across town feel tougher than they should. If you’ve ever worried about drowsy driving on I-84 or staying alert during long stretches behind the wheel, it’s a sign your sleep should be taken seriously.

Many people in the Boise area also deal with seasonal allergies, wildfire smoke, and dry indoor air during colder months—factors that can make snoring and nighttime breathing feel even more uncomfortable. Add stress, irregular schedules, or shift work, and it’s easy for poor sleep to become “normal” when it shouldn’t be.

If you’re looking for next steps, local healthcare resources exist that can help guide you. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and Central District Health provide public health information and programs for residents in Ada County, and the City of Boise and Ada County offer community resources that can support overall wellness planning. For diagnosis, a sleep test (ordered through a physician or a sleep clinic) is typically the starting point before deciding whether CPAP, an oral appliance, or another approach makes sense.

At Boise River Dental, we help Boise patients explore dental sleep appliances that are designed to be comfortable, travel-friendly, and easy to fit into real life—whether you’re heading up to the foothills after work, traveling for business, or simply trying to wake up feeling rested again. If you’re dealing with loud snoring, frequent waking, or daytime sleepiness, we’re here to talk through options and help you understand what to do next.

Advanced Sleep Medicine Treatments

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine approved dental sleep appliances or Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD), as viable solutions to treat afll forms of sleep apnea. An oral sleep appliance is designed to maintain an open and unobstructed airway while sleeping. Every sleep appliance is custom-fitted and pushes the lower jaw forward while pulling the tongue forward, preventing it from falling back and occluding the airway.

It’s similar to wearing a plastic mouth guard and is much more comfortable than wearing a mask associated with a CPAP machine. It is safe, portable, and highly effective.
