The Hidden Epidemic in Your Sleep: How To Fix Snoring & Sleep Apnea

Snoring is more than an annoying sound. For many people it is the first sign that the airway is struggling at night. In this episode of Your Sleep Coach we unpack what is really going on when you snore, stop breathing, or gasp in your sleep and why it matters for your heart, brain, mood, and relationships. Host Devin is joined by Dr Chad W Dammling DDS MD FACS, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who focuses on airway and sleep, and Forrest Ackerman, CEO of Spectrum Sleep Solutions and founder of Spring Sleep. Together they break down what sleep apnea is, why it happens, and the key differences between obstructive, central, and complex apnea in clear simple language. You will hear a practical breakdown of treatment options including CPAP, custom dental mouthpieces, and newer daytime tongue training therapies like ExciteOSA plus when surgery enters the picture. Chad and Forrest share who each option is best for, real life pros and cons, and how to choose something you can actually stick with. If you or someone you love snores, wakes up exhausted, or has been avoiding a sleep study, this conversation will give you concrete next steps and the exact questions to bring to your doctor so you can finally get answers and better sleep.
