Get rid of anything in your bedroom that might distract you from sleep, such as noises, bright lights, an uncomfortable bed, or warm temperatures. You sleep better if the temperature in the room is kept on the cool side. A TV, mobile phone, or computer in the bedroom can be a distraction and deprive you of needed sleep. Having a comfortable mattress and pillow can help promote a good night’s sleep. Individuals who have insomnia often watch the clock. Turn the clock’s face out of view so you don’t worry about the time while trying to fall asleep. You should only use your bedroom for sleep rather than working, eating or watching TV. This will

Since the main problem that I had was the distractions such as TV and Internet, I made it a rule that I needed to close my laptop and turn off my TV at the specific sleep time goal for that week. I found that with my TV off I was able to fall asleep almost immediately after laying down. I recorded the amount of sleep that I got every night, though it is not exact I did fall asleep almost immediately after the start times so it is only off by a few minutes at most.

IV. “The National Institute of Health” suggests that Sleep Apnea should be treated with lifestyle changes, mouthpieces, breathing devices, and surgery. Goals of treating sleep apnea are to restore regular breathing during sleep and relieve symptoms such as loud snoring and daytime sleepiness.

18 study data were derived from the apnea database (PhysioNet) corresponding to MIT/BIH database. AirFlow, SaO2, Abdominal and Thoracic Movements were obtained from full PSG records. Each record includes a period of nearly eight hours and signals annotation is done minute-by-minute. A minute is labeled as an apnea case if it contains at least one condition of apnea or hypopnea, otherwise labeled as a non-apnea. The patients mean age and weight are between 27 to 63 years (4810.8) and 53 to 135 kg (86.322.2), respectively. PhysioNet data are classified in two categories: Apnea Group (Class A, more than 100 minutes of apnea, mean age: 50 years in range of 29 to 63 years) and Normal Group (class C, less than 5 minutes of apnea, mean age of 33 years

The population who are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often experience daytime drowsiness and are at risk for ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, hypertension, and other vascular related problems (Hsu et al., 2007). There are several treatment options for people with OSA, which are weight loss, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), dental appliances, and surgical procedure. This study evaluates patients who have

The board is the leading national organization for dentists who use oral appliances to treat obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. This is a treatment alternative that many patients find more comfortable and convenient than the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines. By naming Dr. Takacs a Diplomate, the ABDSM is recognizing her training and experience with dental

OSA is characterized by repeated episodes of either partial or complete obstruction of the upper airways during sleep due to excessive relaxation of airway musculature, which leads to cessation

Dr Avi Weisfogel is a sleep specialist and dentist. He researches and treats sleep apnea using dentistry as a technique. Sleep apnea is condition that causes a person to seize breathing while sleeping for a short period of a few seconds up to a minute. Patients with sleep apnea find it hard to relax and feel refreshed after sleeping due to the interruption of their breathing pattern and it mostly cause by repeated sleep deprivation. More and more people are suffering form it due to the unhealthy culture of people consistently failing to get at least seven to nine hours of uninterrupted sleep each night. As a dentist Dr. Weisfogel is a pioneer in the research and progress of many sleep

Dr. Avi Weisfogel has reached out to other dental professionals with his findings in sleep apnea. Dr. Avi Weisfogel is highly interested in teaching other dental professionals about sleep disorder and diagnosis treatment. The future is definitely looking very bright for those in the sleep technology field. The future is also looking very bright for those that suffer from sleep

The procedure might be something simple such as inserting tiny rods in your soft palate that cause it to stiffen so it doesn't collapse when you relax. The surgery could also be very complex, such as repositioning your jaw. However, many of the sleep apnea surgeries involve removing excess tissue. This could be removing adenoids and tonsils or removing excess tissue from the throat, soft palate, or tongue. Some procedures are relatively minor and can be done as an outpatient. Surgeries that involve correcting bone abnormalities may require a hospital

Custom fitted mouthpiece can be made to treat sleep apnea. They can also be used by people who loudly snores but do not have sleep apnea. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or CPAP is the widely used treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnea. It uses a mouth or nose mask and attaches to a machine that blows regulated air to keep you airway open when you sleep. Surgery is also an option that can benefit some people with sleep apnea. Its effectiveness depends on a case by case. It is used to widen airway by shrinking, stiffening, or removing excess tissue in the mouth and throat, resetting the lower jaw.

Many individuals suffer from this condition, yet don't realize it. When a loved one complains about their loud snoring, they find there is

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common, yet under recognized condition. It is estimated that some form of OSA affects approximately 17% of the adult population. Over the years, this number has consistently increased possibly secondary to the rising prevalence of obesity in the population [1]. The pathophysiology of OSA is postulated to be related to decreased parasympathetic activity during sleep, leading to decreased muscle tone in the upper airway, which can lead to repetitive collapse of the upper airway, causing the characteristic apneic or hypopneic events that define the diagnosis of OSA [2].
