I believe that I have had an airway disorder my entire life. I use to always fall asleep in school and I snored loudly as a young child. Most people around me, including family, friends, teachers, and professors, thought that I was either funny or rude. Little did I or they recognize that my life was being negatively affected by breathing challenges that badly affected my ability to get restful and restorative sleep. Little did i know that none of this would be understood by me until my oldest daughter turned 24 years of age.
