Common Signs of Sleep Apnoea

What to look and listen for

Sleep apnoea often hides in plain sight because the main events happen while you are asleep. A bed partner may notice loud, uneven snoring, or moments where breathing seems to pause and then restart with a gasp. On your side of it, the clues are usually next-day ones: waking unrefreshed, a dry mouth or morning headache, and a heavy sleepiness that creeps up while sitting still. None of these on its own means very much, but together they are worth taking seriously.

Why the signs are easy to miss

Because so much of this unfolds during sleep, plenty of people live with the pattern for years and simply put the tiredness down to age or a busy life. That is exactly why noticing the cluster matters. This article is educational and cannot tell you whether you have the condition; it can only nudge you toward the right conversation. If several of these ring true, a clinician can arrange the right checks rather than leaving you to guess.
