Sleep disorders that keep you from getting a good nights sleep
Does night time make you cringe because you know it’s going to be another night of tossing and turning, waiting for dawn because you just cannot fall asleep? Well, join the club because studies have shown that more than a third of adults are affected by sleep disorders that have made their lives a misery. Blessed are those that can fall asleep the moment their heads touch the pillow because there’s nothing to beat a good night’s sleep and wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to face another day.
Sleep disorders don’t mean just being unable to fall asleep; it can be many things including difficulty in going back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night, feeling sleepy right throughout the day, or feeling drowsy and exhausted even after a good night’s sleep. Any of these can make you irritable, develop tension headaches, and make you susceptibility to various diseases and can affect anyone irrespective of age or gender. Sleep disorders can be a result of stress or depression, consumption of too much caffeine, prescription drugs or even due to something more serious such as sleep apnea.
If you have never heard of sleep apnea its time you did, because deprivation of sleep caused by this disease is said to affect more than 12 million adults in the country. If untreated, it can result not only in various psychological and physical problems, but could also be life threatening. When a person suffers from sleep apnea they stop breathing for up to 20 seconds and this can happen 25 to 30 times every hour. During the brief period of its occurrence, no air flows to the lungs resulting in a drop in the levels of oxygen in the blood. Most of the time the person concerned is unaware of this happening but will wake up by gagging or choking resulting in very little sleep throughout the night.
Heavy snoring is another problem that keeps people awake; but with this particular disorder it’s others who are deprived of sleep rather than the snorer himself. A spouse can find this really frustrating and there are times when snoring issues have created havoc in relationships. So what can be done to stop snoring you may ask? There are several remedies including herbal preparations and pharmacy medications, but what works best is for the partner to use ear plugs which is not a solution for the snorer to stop snoring. An instantly effective remedy is said to be an anti snoring pillow that is especially designed for snorers. It’s believed that snoring occurs due to improper breathing through blockages in the air passage, and these pillows are made in such a way for the head to be aligned with the spine to enable the blocked airways to be cleared.
Whatever it is that causes sleep disorders, treatment must be taken to alleviate the problem because there’s no way anyone can lead a healthy life without getting the adequate amount of sleep. It doesn’t matter what you do to get a good night’s sleep; be it medication, hypnosis, a hot drink, a special pillow or even an ultra feminine satin slip that can make you feel like you’re floating on a cloud; you should do it if it can help you to sleep and get up in the morning feeling completely refreshed.
