Why Are You Always So Tired? The Hidden Causes of Chronic Fatigue

Do you wake up feeling unrefreshed, no matter how many hours you sleep? Are you constantly battling an overwhelming urge to nap, struggling to concentrate at work, or feeling sluggish throughout the day? Persistent daytime fatigue and drowsiness are not normal, and they’re often a clear sign that something is disrupting the quality of your sleep.

While many factors can contribute to tiredness, one of the most common and often undiagnosed culprits is a sleep disorder, particularly Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). At NTX Sleep Solutions, Dr. Rebecca Lauck, a leading expert in dental sleep medicine, specializes in identifying and treating the underlying causes of chronic fatigue related to sleep-disordered breathing for patients across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

The Link Between Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue

When you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, your breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night. Even if you don’t remember waking up, these constant interruptions prevent your body from entering and maintaining the deep, restorative sleep cycles it needs to fully recover.

The result? Your body and brain are deprived of essential oxygen and true rest, leading to:

  • Chronic exhaustion, even after seemingly adequate sleep.
  • Difficulty concentrating and brain fog.
  • Memory problems.
  • Increased irritability and mood swings.
  • Reduced productivity at work or school.
  • Increased risk of accidents, especially while driving.

If your daytime fatigue is accompanied by loud snoring, gasping, or pauses in breathing during sleep, it’s highly likely that sleep apnea is the root cause.

How Dr. Rebecca Lauck Can Help You Regain Your Energy

Dr. Rebecca Lauck brings extensive expertise, including two diplomate degrees in Sleep Apnea Treatment and over 2,500 hours of specialized education, to accurately assess if your fatigue stems from a sleep-related breathing disorder.

At NTX Sleep Solutions, our primary solution for treating sleep apnea and, by extension, eliminating debilitating daytime fatigue, is Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT).

  • Personalized Evaluation: Dr. Lauck will conduct a thorough consultation to understand your symptoms and review any existing sleep study results or guide you toward obtaining a diagnosis.
  • Custom-Fitted Oral Appliances: For patients diagnosed with mild to moderate OSA, or those who can’t tolerate CPAP, Dr. Lauck will design a custom oral appliance. These comfortable, FDA-approved devices gently hold your jaw and tongue in a position that keeps your airway open, allowing for uninterrupted breathing and truly restorative sleep.
  • Restored Energy & Alertness: By effectively treating the root cause of your sleep disruptions, our goal is to eliminate your daytime fatigue, allowing you to feel more awake, focused, and energetic throughout your day.
