Answer by Remy
Yeah! Sleep apnea is a "problem from hell", even if it's a mild case. Seems to me that you have a "bonus" problem, because you doctor did nothing about your sleep apnea. So...what should you do? Fortunately, if you have a mild apnea, you can treat it with behavioral changes, such as: * try sleeping on your side rather than sleeping on your back as it can produces loud snores because of blockages. * elevate the head when you sleep. This measure can alleviate snoring and make breathing easier. * Use an air humidifier at nighttime to make the air moister. * don't smoke for at leas several hours prior to bedtime. Doing so, the smoke can cause the airways to tighten in the neck, worsening sleep apnea. * maintain regular sleep hours. In my case, I had to quit my shift work job, to have a normal sleep. * use a nasal dilator, saline nasal spray or breathe right strips to help open nasal passages. Now, you should know that is important to understand your cause of your disorder. What obstructs your breathing? Your large adenoids and tonsils, your tongue, your small neck? This is important, too. Well, I hope it helps. Good luck!

How to stop snoring?

Question by iask: How to stop snoring? How to stop snoring?

Best answer:

Answer by Middleman
Almost always, the first answer is to try to drop some excess weight. Proping up the bed is also helpful, so that the head is a little higher than the feet. And, as silly as it may sound, putting a fan on in the bedroom, facing you, helps some people.

Try taking Melatonin at night. It is all natural, you can buy it in the vitamin section. If that doesn't help you, then definitely see a doctor.

Could it be a sleeping disorder?

Question by Yuki: Could it be a sleeping disorder? Recently I haven't been able to sleep, well not recently, it's just I can never get to sleep when I want to, I'll be laying their for about a half hour and I won't fall asleep. I've constantly been up all night, til 6 am, then I fall asleep. I also started getting headaches, stomach aches, my paranoia is coming back in, chest pains, shivering when it isn't cold, sore throats. I figured I was just getting sick cause I wasn't getting enough sleep, I don't know if it could be something more, but I really need to get to sleep because of school. I don't really know what I'd be depressed about, the only thing coming up is school which I'm actually glad about, I can't wait for this year. I can list maybe two things I could be depressed about it, but they've never bothered me before

Do you know anything about sleep apnea?

Question by happydawg: Do you know anything about sleep apnea? I have been a sleep walker for a long time. I get up in the nite and mess around in the bathroom. Walk around the house and actually lately I have been pretty busy at nite. I sometimes wake up in the middle of my activites, and sometimes I wake up and realize I did something stupid. One of the doctors I work with believes I may have sleep apnea because he says I "look" like someone with sleep apnea. He says he can see it in my neck area. I can see my adams apple and granted since I am 43, my cheeks have gotten fat, but I would not consider my neck overly fat. He says sleep apnea is a major cause of sleep walking in adults and he believes I should go for a sleep study. I have never been able to sleep in strange places. I usually sleep about 7 or sometimes 6 hours a nite. I am a pretty uptight personality. Do you know anything about this? I am a nurse, but never really have dealt with this condition and would like some information. Its really freaking me out.

i thought sleep apnea dealt with breathing problems. like when you're sleeping, u "forget" to breathe for a bit. Some people usually have headaches due to less oxygen. But i may be wrong. Google it! :0)

Honestly i have NEVER heard of such a thing but the bond between an animal and a human can be crazy deep and dogs are usually way more in tune with health issues than we are so that being said...i can completely see it as a possibility. What can it hurt ?

WHY do PEOPLE SNORE?

Question by *NANCY*: WHY do PEOPLE SNORE? what causes people to snore?

Best answer:

Answer by Max_Gio
During deep sleep, the muscles in the body relax, and as the muscles in the throat relax, the airway partly closes. This is normal. Air comes into and out of the lungs through this airway. However, if the air flow in the throat and nose is obstructed, the air passage is narrowed, which causes snoring. Snoring is the fluttering sound created by the vibrations of tissues against each other in the back of the throat and nose. The tissues obstructing the airway and vibrating against each other can be the soft palate, the throat, the uvula, the tonsils, or the adenoids. (The soft palate is the soft part of the roof of the mouth.) ~Heredity - You can inherit a narrow throat, which can cause snoring. ~Being overweight - Excess weight and fatty tissue in the neck cause your throat to become smaller. ~Being middle-aged or beyond - As you age, your throat becomes narrower, and the muscle tone in your throat decreases. ~Being male - Men have narrower air passages than do women and are more likely to snore. ~A history of smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke - Smoking relaxes muscles and also creates nasal and lung congestion. Exposure to secondhand smoke can cause the same snoring problems as smoking does. ~Lack of fitness - Poor muscle tone and lax muscles contribute to snoring. ~Nasal deformities, such as a deviated septum - Nasal irregularities can cause obstructed breathing. ~Enlarged adenoids or tonsils - Larger than usual adenoids or tonsils can cause obstruction of the airway and additional vibration during breathing. ~A long soft-palate or uvula - A long soft palate or uvula dangles in the throat and can cause fluttery noises during relaxed breathing. ~Alcohol or medications (sleeping pills or antihistamines) - Alcohol and certain medications increase relaxation of throat and tongue muscles, which makes snoring more likely. ~Allergies, asthma, a cold, or sinus infections - Such breathing problems cause blockage in your nasal airways and make inhalation difficult. This in turn creates a vacuum in your throat, and noisy breathing. ~Sleeping on your back - Sleeping flat on your back allows the flesh of your throat to relax and block the airway. Moderate snorers tend to snore only when sleeping on their backs. ~Sleeping on overly soft pillows - Pillows increase the angle of your neck and can contribute to obstruction of your airway, which causes snoring.

Sleep Apnea?????

Question by Bald is beautiful: Sleep Apnea????? With not being able to sleep soundly through the night for some time, I'm thinking I might have sleep apnea. I understand there are tests for such conditions and an air mask that one can wear at night to improve breathing. Now, I've seen pictures of such masks and these do not look at all comfortable ... you've got a band that clamps around your forehead and a cover for your nose with an attached vaccum-type hose. Has anybody either worn one of these contraptions or known someone who has? Are they custom-fitted? Does one get used to such a mask quickly? Does the accompanying air pump rattle and shake during operation and keep you awake? Thanx ...

Do I have a sleep disorder?

Question by Zac Watts: Do I have a sleep disorder? I know I most likely have a sleep disorder, but I'm not sure which one. I wake up frequently at night, usually 3 or more times a night, for just 3 or 5 seconds (sometimes I just look at the time) then fall back asleep, disrupting R.E.M. sleep. I wake up feeling exhausted and not wanting to get up, even after 7 or 8 or 9 or even 10 hours. My sleep schedule is relatively the same all week. Monday-Friday I go to bed around 1-1:30 am and get up around 10:30, but sometimes I have to sleep till noon. Saturday and sunday I go to bed around 2 and get up at 10:30. It's not sleep apnea. Also right before I try to sleep I have thought rush through my head making it hard to sleep. Another thing I've been told relates to a sleep disorder is my leg irritability. I constantly shift my legs trying to get comfortable before I can fall asleep. Do I have a disorder and what is it?

Best answer:

Answer by Darrick I
Not positive if it's a sleep disorder. Best way to find out is to have a sleep study done. Something to try that helps with the rushing thoughts and frequent wake-ups that helped me a considerable amount is Melatonin. It's over the counter and comes in 3mg and 5g sizes. Try and take a 3mg right before you go to sleep and if need be you can take 2 3mg the next night and see if that helps a little more, if at all. The good thing about it is that your body naturally produces it, so it's not addictive and doesn't have the negative side-effects that prescription sleep pills do.

Answer by Kɪʟʟɪɴɢ ᴍᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜɪɴ.
What you have, dear, is called Insomnia. Insomnia is most often thought of as both a sign and a symptom that can accompany several sleep, medical, and psychiatric disorders, characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep or sleep of poor quality. Insomnia is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. One definition of insomnia is "difficulties initiating and/or maintaining sleep, or nonrestorative sleep, associated with impairments of daytime functioning or marked distress for more than 1 month. Insomnia can occur at any age, but it is particularly common in the elderly. Transient insomnia lasts for less than a week. It can be caused by another disorder, by changes in the sleep environment, by the timing of sleep, severe depression, or by stress. Its consequences – sleepiness and impaired psychomotor performance – are similar to those of sleep deprivation. Acute insomnia is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of less than a month. Insomnia is present when there is difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or when the sleep that is obtained is non-refreshing or of poor quality. These problems occur despite adequate opportunity and circumstances for sleep and they must result in problems with daytime function. Acute insomnia is also known as short term insomnia or stress related insomnia. Chronic insomnia lasts for longer than a month. It can be caused by another disorder, or it can be a primary disorder. People with high levels of stress hormones or shifts in the levels of cytokines are more likely to have chronic insomnia. Its effects can vary according to its causes. They might include muscular fatigue, hallucinations, and/or mental fatigue. Some people that live with this disorder see things as if they are happening in slow motion, wherein moving objects seem to blend together. Chronic insomnia can cause double vision. Sleep-onset insomnia is difficulty falling asleep at the beginning of the night, often a symptom of anxiety disorders or the delayed sleep phase disorder. Nocturnal awakenings are characterized by difficulty returning to sleep after awakening in the middle of the night or waking too early in the morning: middle-of-the-night insomnia and terminal insomnia. The former may be a symptom of pain disorders or illness; the latter is often a characteristic of clinical depression. Poor sleep quality can also occur as a result of, for example, restless legs, sleep apnea or major depression.

Is it a sleep disorder?/?

Question by hello: Is it a sleep disorder?/? At night, I never get tired. I stay up late and never seem to get bored. I read magazines, paint my nails, watch tv, do some of my homework, check my facebook, etc. etc. etc. I never seem ready for bed! Now, as soon as I do go to bed, I seem to fall asleep right away. The problem is that I am never actually sleepy. And then the next morning I am always very tired. It's easy to say "just go to bed earlier.." but it's not!!! It doesn't bother me that much, I'm just wondering, is this normal? Any type of disorder or anything? Just curious, thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by HotRedhead
Yes this is a problem. Whether you "feel" tired or not, your body is very exhausted and wishing for rest. Remember, sleeping is a way for the body to recharge. You feel tired in the morning because you don't sleep. You have something called sleep deprivation. Sleeping pills are not the answer either. You just need more exercise and get out there more during the day to tire yourself out.
