Green tea, long known to be a savior as far as addressing the health issues concerning most people today, has been proven to help sleep apnea victims resolve their problems. Apparently, one of its components called polyphenol is the answer to which help most sleep deprived people today.
Green tea has been known to already help people with heart diseases and high cholesterol levels but apparently polyphenol can help address the issue of most people when it comes to breathing pauses which sometimes haunt people while they are asleep.
According to lead study author David Gozal of the University of Louisville, the drop in oxygen levels and inflammation associated with apnea can lead to the death of brain cells over time. He said the study showed that drinking six to 10 cups of green tea a day can help combat this decline.
Gozal stressed that the study suggests green tea should be an “adjunct” therapy in humans suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, not a main treatment.
“If you have sleep apnea, use your (breathing) machine while you are sleeping,” Gozal wrote in an e-mail. “However, if you also drink green tea, this may help you feel better.”

Technology has been known to provide us with solutions and sleep disorders are not about to be left behind. Using the medium of the Internet to determine the dysfunctional problems that we have to deal with before we get good sleep needs to be monitored and analyzed. Today, there is a new tool that is being psyched up to help transfer data to the specialists so that they can in turn help provide feasible answers on why people have to deal with sleepless nights.
The devices monitor body indicators during a patient’s sleep, such as blood-oxygen levels, nose airflow pressure and whether air passages are obstructed. They feed the information to specialists via the internet.
They are being trialled in the forehead of nasal masks already worn by patients with sleep apnoea, a common condition where breathing difficulties disrupt sleeping patterns.

People who go on vacation to various destinations can now consider sleep retreat among the potential agenda for going there. This was apparently the whole concept launched by Dr. Reza Samvat regarding sleep retreat at the Domain Casuarina Beach Resort.
Obviously, this has been targeted towards the people who lack the proper amount of sleep or have been dealing with sleep problems like sleep apnea and insomnia. So if you cannot find proper cure from medication and therapy, why not make your break a sleep retreat session to get to the bottom of this problem.
Basing it on what has been reported, it is really something that will attract people, both sleep disorder patients and the people who simply want some adventure of a different kind.
“The three packages available offer an intense revolutionary program aimed at identifying the major areas contributing to the individual’s sleep issues,” Dr Samvat said.
“It makes the treatment and clinic more accessible to people with busy lifestyles as the packages are intense and concentrated so that results can be achieved in a shorter period.
“Sleep therapy packages are also ideal for the corporate market, such as business executives who lead a high-pressure working lifestyle. The retreat will assist them in re-balancing and improve sleeping cycles.
