Irritability
Irritability commonly happens when a person doesn't get enough sleep. This is because the body requires a certain amount of sleep for optimal brain functioning and mental health. Sleep apnea's disruptions in the normal sleep a person gets can potentially cause irritability.4‘Sleep Apnea: Causes, Symptoms, Tests & Treatments.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/8718-sleep-apnea
