People with sleep apnea are usually loud snorers and they often feel tired even after a full night's rest.

Snoring is not just annoying, it can keep everyone in bed from getting a good nights sleep. >> It becomes harder to operate. Where you have to be up at six or 7:00 and the kids are up and you were unable to do that. >> Reporter: they should try lifestyle changes but when those didn't work, you talk to his doctors about a sleep study. >> An overnight sleep test can detect whether you have obstructive sleep apnea which is when your breathing pauses during sleep because something blocks your airways. >> Reporter: left untreated, obstructive sleep apnea can cause daytime sleepiness and can also strain the heart and increase the risk of anxiety, diabetes, hypertension and even stroke. The primary treatment for sleep apnea is a continuous positive

airway machine or a cpap. They are fitted with a mask connected to a pump that pushes air into the airway, holding it open while sleeping. Cpap can significantly reduce the number of breathing interruptions during the night. But patients often have complaints. >> It requires daily cleaning witches another thing to add to your day to day routine. >> Reporter: if the full face mask is not for you, you may want to consider a nasal pillow or nasal mask. Another alternative. Or custom-made dental devices. >> These are designed to move the jaw and to shift it to the front of the mouth to keep the airway open. They can be used along with cpap. >> Reporter: in the u.s., there are devices like inspire that are surgically implanted into the upper chest like a pacemaker. They stabilize your throat during sleep to prevent obstruction of the airways. With no hose or mask it may seem more convenient and inspire told ctv news it is not available in canada and he says it is not something he would do. >> Reporter: I would not personally track personally be comfortable with on the go surgery for something that can be managed without it. >> Reporter: it is important to realize that snoring and sleep issues can be serious but a restful night can start after a good conversation with your doctor. And to reduce symptoms to get a better night's rest, and is advisable to skip alcohol and sleep on your side or stomach, losing weight can also help because obesity is a primary factor for sleep apnea.

Weather is brought you by train, the most reliable heating and cooling brand, it is hard to stop a train. It really has been one of those perfect spring and early summer days that we had.

Marie, we are seeing those mid-single digit in low double digits. Tonight here in the city and throughout the majority of the gta, holding on around 13 or 14 degrees. Seasonal norms around 11 so we are pretty close. Everybody seeing it where we should be. The active weather begins in the southwestern corner towards windsor tonight and then sweeps its way across as we had throughout the day tomorrow. But even with the active weather, we do not cool down all that much as we sit at 24 for us and the same through london, waterloo, hamilton, niagara. It is quite comfortable even with the active weather. The bulk of the system, again will be northern ontario but a bit of a trough coming down off of that that will rise as the cold front comes through, that is what we will see as we had throughout the day tomorrow. Timing it all out, clear tonight if you're heading out this evening, absolutely stunning. It is as we head into the late morning that we see the first round of rain and the chance will linger into the early evening around six and then we see sunshine before the day is over. So not a wash of a day by any means and as we get into sunday, lots of sunshine until about 7:00 pm and then we watch for the of showers to roll in. Temperature wise, were just above the seasonal mark start to finish saturday and sunday. Sunday is the dryer day of the two.
