The symptoms of untreated sleep apnea can be challenging to deal with. Sleep apnea results in a wide range of negative effects \u2013 like chronic fatigue, mood changes, irritability, and a lack of focus. If you have discovered that you have sleep apnea<\/a>, you aren\u2019t on your own. Sleep apnea affects for than 20 million people throughout the country, and celebrities aren\u2019t excluded. Here are some of the popular stars out there who have sleep apnea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Randy Jackson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might remember Randy Jackson as one of the American Idol judges for 12 seasons. He was diagnosed with sleep apnea and type two diabetes. Today, he claims to sleep better at night and feels more energetic after losing weight and seeking treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

William Shatner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

William Shatner is another popular celebrity who has sleep apnea. To manage his condition, he uses a CPAP machine while he sleeps. CPAP therapy works by continuously pushing air into the airway at a pressure that is high enough to prevent it from collapsing and causing apnea. The pressurized air is administered through a mask that covers your mouth or nose, giving you the ability to breathe easily and sleep without constantly waking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosie O\u2019Donnell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rosie O\u2019Donnell is an American comedian, actress, author, and television personality. After undergoing a home sleep test, she learned that she has sleep apnea. After just a single night of CPAP treatment, she noticed a significant difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roseanne Barr<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roseanne Barr is an American actress, comedian, writer, and television producer. These days, she is spending her time in Hawaii. Due to her snoring, her husband was having a difficult time staying asleep throughout the night. She ended up undergoing a sleep study, and her doctor diagnosed her with sleep apnea. It was recommended that she begin CPAP therapy to manage her condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shaquille O\u2019Neal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shaquille O’Neal is considered to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Something that you may not know about him is that he has severe sleep apnea. He was first diagnosed with this condition after undergoing a Harvard sleep study. In an interview, he noted that he stops breathing 72 times per hour, causing him to wake up panting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amy Poehler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

American actress, comedian, director, producer, and writer, Amy Poehler, was told that she snores so loud that it sounds like she\u2019s choking. When speaking about her CPAP machine, she said: \u201cYou know it\u2019s good for you, but most of the time you don\u2019t feel like it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep apnea can affect anyone. If you have been experiencing symptoms, getting tested is a good idea. This way, you can work toward getting the restful sleep your need at night to thrive during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
