This is probably the most obvious effect of sleep deprivation. “Nodding off” – or microsleep – is when you unintentionally fall asleep for a short period of time, which has a large impact on performance. In some situations, suddenly drifting off can be extremely dangerous. If you are struggling to get restful sleep, call our office, and we can help you determine if sleep apnea is the cause. We serve patients from Dallas TX, Plano TX, Addison TX, Garland TX, Richardson TX, Carrollton TX, and BEYOND!
