Just because it's common doesn't mean it's harmless. Untreated sleep apnea increases the likelihood of obesity, memory issues, high blood pressure, Alzheimer's, and stroke. In children it's related to ADD, ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

The only cure is sleeping with a CPAP machine for the rest of your life or getting double jaw surgery.

Just because you can sleep on your side doesn't mean you're healthy. Your brain is not getting enough oxygen when you sleep. It's a silent killer.

But yes, most doctors don't care. It's sad.
