Exclusively Treating Sleep Apnea, Snoring, and CPAP Intolerance www.SnoreExperts.com | | | Blame THESE four habits & health problems for waking up too often mid-sleep According to a study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research, it was discovered that in a group of about 22,000 volunteers, 31.2% of the people above 15 years of age woke up between the nights thrice a week at least. Newborns, infants, adolescents, adults or the elderly – sleep requirement of every age group varies. After a strenuous day at work or school, after a long and hectic trek or an intense workout session – there is nothing more blissful than a good night’s sleep. We spend many-an-hour working and stressing all day; sleep offers relief from all the strain and helps you feel energised for the activities of the upcoming day. However, if for any reason one feels sleep deprived – be it because of insufficient or improper rest – the exhaustion, lethargy, fatigue, and mood swings that come with it affect overall health in the long run.

It helps our body repair itself and function as it should, and is linked to better mental health and lower risk of many health conditions – including heart disease and diabetes. It’s also been shown that not getting enough sleep is linked to cognitive decline and conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. But more isn’t always better, as one recent study found. Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine have published a paper that indicates that just like getting too little sleep, sleeping too much may also be linked with cognitive decline.

It's a vicious cycle; as you try to relax and drift off, the higher a state of anxiety you work yourself into. If you've tried body scan meditation, sorted out your circadian rhythm (don't worry, it's easier than it sounds), got on the silk pillowcase hype and still find yourself tossing and turning, then it might be time to try 'paradoxical intention'. Don't worry, it's not as Matrix-y as it sounds.

Q: Do Older Adults Experience More Sleep Problems? (Terrance W.) Terrance, as we age, we sleep less. Whether older adults actually need less sleep, or their brains are not able to regulate sleep to the same extent, is unknown. A reported 1 in 4 older adults experience tiredness that interferes with their daytime plans. Perhaps for these reasons, older adults also nap more often. Sleep disorders, including insomnia, are more common in old age. As we age, so does our brain, and it is possible that a reduction in gray matter could cause problems with sleep regulation. Alternatively, these brain changes could be the result of sleeping less. Some sleep problems common in old age are caused by other aspects of aging. Older adults are more likely to have comorbid health conditions that disrupt nighttime sleep, such as chronic pain, depression, or a need to urinate. We also experience a circadian shift in old age, where we naturally tire and wake up earlier. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Q: If you feel you are suffering from insomnia, should you seek help and get a sleeping pill prescribed? I am afraid of becoming dependent on the medication. (Harold S.) A: Harold, while sleeping pills can help a person fall asleep more quickly, most patients with chronic insomnia would better be served by learning healthy strategies for getting a restful sleep. It is true that some of the newer medications advertised on TV are not addictive as was the case with drugs of the past. However, some people get psychologically addicted to medicine and find themselves shopping between one drug and another. I generally prescribe sleeping pills for short term use only. For those who have an occasional sleepless night – chamomile tea, a warm glass of milk, a soothing bath or valerian may be effective. People who frequently experience insomnia that interferes with daytime functioning should talk to a doctor. | | All in One Location - SleepTesting, CPAP/APAP, Dental Mouthpieces, Surgery, Laser Therapy, & More
