Besides snoring other signs and symptoms of OSA or UARS are: 

• Excessive daytime sleepiness 
• Restless sleep
• Frequent awakening during sleep – often mistaken for need for “bathroom visits”
• Morning headaches upon awakening
• Overweight (high BMI) 
• Depression
• Severe anxiety
• A history of accidents – occupational and motor vehicle
• Dry mouth when awakening
• Gastrointestinal reflux – GERD
• Temperamental behavior
