Regain Your Beauty Sleep By Putting a Stop to Sleep Apnoea

nie sleepLosing sleep can lead to early aging. It can also cause you to lose sleep through obstruction in breathing or snoring. An article from http://www.examiner.com has offered several facts on how to stop sleep apnoea:

  • Sleep apnoea used to be seen as an irritating abnormality among many Americans. But in the past decade, it has become apparent that the sleep disorder can cause other life-threatening ailments.

  • Untreated severe apnoea can take 10 to 15 years off someone’s life.

  • Sleep apnoea, which is estimated to affect 5 to 10 percent of Americans and is undiagnosed in most of them, can also lead to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks.

  • The most common type is obstructive sleep apnoea. It causes your airway to collapse or become blocked during sleep. Normal breathing commences with a choke or snort sound.

  • In cases of mild to moderate sleep apnoea, losing weight can be an option in overweight and obese individuals.

  • Avoiding alcohol and sleeping pills can also be done.

  • Changing sleep positions to improve breathing.

  • Quit smoking to relieve nasopharyngeal inflammation.

  • Refrain from sleeping on your back.

  • In more severe cases of apnoea, a person may have a deviated nasal septum, enlarged tonsils, or a small overbite on the lower jaw, causing the throat to be too narrow. In these cases, surgery may be needed to correct the problem.
