How Sleep Apnea Affects a Partner's Health

• Let your bed partner know that if they get their sleep apnea taken care of they will have the energy to play with the kids, wake up feeling better than when they went to bed and will be less irritable.
• Hit them with the financial story: “You are drinking energy drinks at a rate of 10 a day, and this is causing a rift in our budget."
• Ask others to verify your position. Have a friend sleepover or have your children listen out, they may be able to convince him more than you that there is a problem.
