Sleep well, live better.
UARS occurs when the airway becomes narrowed during sleep, making breathing more difficult. Unlike Obstructed Sleep Apnea (OSA), the airway does not completely collapse, and oxygen levels may remain normal. Because of this, many individuals with UARS are told their sleep studies are "normal" even though they continue to suffer from significant symptoms that affect their quality of life. Those symptoms result in poor quality of sleep, chronic stress on the body, and a wide range of health concerns.
Many individuals never reach the deep, restorative stages of sleep that are needed for healing, recovery, memory, and overall health & wellness.
With UARS, the airway narrows and breathing becomes more difficult, and the brain senses the increased effort which leads to a release in stress hormones and adrenaline leading sleep to become fragmented due to the body briefly waking up to restore airflow. This cycle may happen dozens of times per hour without the individual even realizing it.

Chronic fatigue

Brain Fog
Difficulty concentrating
Anxiety or depression
