Excessive Snoring, Sleep Apnea & CPAP Alternative
Do you snore excessively? Do you frequently wake up groggy and more tired than when you went to sleep? Do you experience occasional bouts of uncontrollable sleepiness during the day? Do you have periods of time when you can barely keep your eyes open at work or much more dangerously, while driving your car?
If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, you could be among the nearly 25 million Americans suffering from OSA, obstructive sleep apnea, a serious breathing disorder which typically becomes progressively worse over time, and can become life-threatening if it remains undiagnosed and untreated.
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles that normally keep the throat open relax during sleep and collapse, causing the passage through which air flows to the lungs to close momentarily. Responding to what is an actual near-death experience, the sleeping OSA sufferer begins thrashing and struggling to breathe while rapidly entering a much lighter state of sleep.
Since typical OSA patients experience anywhere from 80 to nearly 500 such episodes per night, it is hardly surprising that their sleep is less-than-restful and often causes them to struggle through their days in a desperate attempt to stay awake. The nightly battle to keep breathing also explains why many patients with a severe case of untreated OSA wake up with their bedding twisted and tangled, their hair wildly askew, and their bodies soaked with sweat.
The negative effects of years of troubled and non-restorative sleep may – and almost always does – lead to health problems that compromise sufferers' quality of life and shorten their lifespans. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and other governmental agencies and researchers, these potential health problems include:
• High blood pressure
• Heart failure
• Stroke
• Diabetes
• Erectile dysfunction
• Hypertension
• Depression
• Coronary occlusion
• Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat)
• Mental impairment
(including increased tendency toward senile dementia and Alzheimer's)
• Increased risk of sudden death while sleeping
• Shortened life expectancy
