Questions on tonsil removal.?

Question:

After browsing the web , I found a source (wikipedia) that stated that tonsils are being removed more often among adults and children for sleep apnea (airway obstruction while sleeping), snoring, and upper airway obstruction. Children who have sleep apnea can do poorly in school, are tired and fatigued during the day, and have some links to ADHD.

Now ,I'm no longer a child nor do I have Adhd, however I do have a slight problem focusing on stuff and paying attention, and since I was a kid have had serious trouble falling asleeps at night, and was pretty shocked to find out that all along this may have been caused by a few peices of flesh at the back of my throat. Anyways if there's anyone with a slight meducal background out there I have a few questions to ask?

1) How does a tonsil removal help you sleep and focus better?

2) Could I get my wisdom teeth pulled out at the same time?

3) Could I get them removed then be able to enjoy a vacation?

Any info would be appreciated.

Answers:
In getting your tonsils removed you have a slightly bigger airway. Yes you can get all your wisdom teeth pulled at the same time, and depending on when your vacation is you should be able to enjoy it
