Drivers and some graveyard shift workers have been pinpointed as that of having sleep apnea problems but it seems you can add one more occupation to that list. Based on a study, it seems that the cops or the police are among the ones suffering from sleep apnea too.
Just like round the clock workers, police personnel have their share of working on shifts as well. The study consisted of police officers participatin
Sleep apnea can be a killer of sorts, especially if you do not know what and which medical treatment to take on. But perhaps if you address your sleep apnea problem (assuming you have one), then it may eventually lead to a longer life on your end since it can shy you away from the usual heart problems.
A study was published New England Journal of Medicine showing that people suffering from sleep apnea may eventually account for metabolic syndrome or better yet, health issues as
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. Apparently the apparatus is a pulse generator which is said to be something that would be inserted below the collar bone of people.
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
One of the more high profile people who seems to have sleep apnea is that of NBA star Shaquille O’ Neal. The 7-foot-1 300 pound center has been encouraged by his girlfriend to seek some help, apparently a witness that “the Diesel” snores and has potential sleep apnea.
To help him out, girlfriend Nikki Alexander wooed the big man to take part in a sleep apnea study being sponsored by Harvard University. Sleep apnea has become a growing problem for Americans and sadly, even the Boston Celtic big man who has been absent in the NBA scene for some time now is not exempted from it.
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
With the growing rate of people suffering from sleep apnea, here is another app for your Apple device that could come in handy. It called the Sleep Cycle iOS app, something that should help monitor a person’s sleep patterns all throughout the night and wakes you up in the lightest sleep phase.
The app can register up to 4 days of sleep patterns which should help you evaluate and improve your waking patterns. But this also means keeping your iPhone powered on all night and placed on your b
Sleeping while outdoors does seem to be common these days, especially with the growing problem of insomnia and sleep apnea. While many seek help from the sleep specialists, here is one cooky invention that should “cover” you up in a manner of speaking.
This is with reference to the futuristic-looking Sleep Suit, something that should come in handy with the people always on the go. The sleep suit comes from Buckminster Fuller’s practice of Dymaxion Sleeping. Carrying a cocoon or wr
By cutting it, we mean surgically. Like most human problems that have become more serious, the last resort is that of leaning towards medical procedures which unfortunately is something not all can afford.
Then again, when you suffer from one of the worst cases of sleep apnea, you may as well want to consider trying to find ways to get that procedure done. Such was the case for this software engineer named Daniel Sheiner who through a sleep study found that he had one of the worst cases of slee
Here is another new tip for you. If you are among the many sleep deprived people, more walking may be able to help. This was what Canadian Sleep Expert Douglas Bradley suggested after linking sitting to sleep apnea.
Apparently, sitting gathers fluids in a person’s legs, , which then moves to your neck when you lie down at night. When your muscles relax, your airway can get sucked shut “like a wet straw.” Especially for the people who are in the office or spend most of their time sprawled
People with snoring and/or sleep apnea problems are bound to have come to know the CPAP mask, something that may not necessarily be comfortable to wear when they want to go to sleep. However, here is one that is said to be easy to use and tasked to remedy sleep apnea issues.
The Easy to Use CPAP Therapy System or the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is an aid that helps ease breathing for people with the said sleep disorder. The device doubles up as a humidifier as well and integrates easily into the
