Rest Assured, Take Charge of Your Sleep Health

More than just noise

Contrary to popular belief, snoring or paghihilik is not harmless. It impedes restful sleep and is the primary symptom of sleep apnea - a disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts as you sleep. Left untreated, sleep apnea increases your risk for other major health problems down the road like heart disease, stroke, and hypertension.

Even mild snoring can disrupt your sleep quality and daytime energy. So, while occasional snoring may seem minor, take it as a sign that some precautions and proactive steps are needed now to prevent bigger problems later.

Take action, but start simple

We get that balik-alindog is easier said than done. But small adjustments can equal major R&R.

If simple tweaks don't work, then go ahead with the clinical tests and devices. But attempting DIY solutions lets you save money and troubleshooting time.
