Posted on April 30, 2012 by Brian Yalung

Posted on February 29, 2012 by Brian Yalung

Sleeping pills can help you sleep but health-wise, there is no question that some health risk is at stake.

Sleep apnea can be a killer of sorts, especially if you do not know what and which medical treatment to take on.

Stimulation Therapy for Sleep Apnea Patients

Posted on August 4, 2011 by Brian Yalung

Here is a solution that should help out sleep apnea sufferers although I am not sure how many people would be more than willing to have something inserted in their bodies to address it.

The pulse will eventually stop the tongue from blocking the airway during sleep. The device (placed just under the hypoglossal nerve) will synchronize with breathi

22M Americans Suffer from Sleep Apnea

Posted on April 24, 2011 by Brian Yalung

We know for a fact that a lot of Americans are suffering sleep apnea but perhaps not this much. Apparently, the big number is broken down for people who are aware they have it and the ones who don’t know they have it. Sadly, 10 million people do not know they have sleep apnea which is quite alarming.

Some get an idea when their mate starts snoring, but for the people who sleep alone, there is no telling if they are indeed suffering from sleep apnea. Dental considerations may help you out on
