There
are two periods of sleep
which, given the right circumstances,
are especially vulnerable
to the development of unstable
breathing. These are Stage
1 sleep, which should only
occur when a person is first
falling asleep but can occur
many times during the night
if sleep is poor, and REM
sleep, which is the time
when dreaming most frequently
occurs.
If a person has very unbalanced
sleeping habits during the
week, it can result in the
development of very significant
respiratory instability
during sleep. Unstable sleeping
patterns lead to unstable
breathing. Therefore, all
you need to do is regulate
your sleep by getting at
least 7.5 hours of it per
night. Sometimes, this is
all that is required.
Lifestyle factors
The impression is growing
that to a large extent,
many cases of obstructive
sleep apnea and snoring
may be related to Western
culture. The risk of significant
obstructive sleep apnea
increases with the numerous
factors described below,
many of which are problems
currently rampant in our
society. Correction of Obstructive
Sleep Apnea (OSA) generally
requires that these factors
be eliminated. At times,
elimination of these factors
completely resolves the
problem.
Weight Excessive weight
brought about by a sedentary
lifestyle, too many rich
foods, or by medically related
situations such as thyroid
problems, is probably the
leading factor contributing
to Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(OSA). Bed partners almost
invariably make the observation
that the larger their snoring
spouse becomes, the louder
the snoring bellows, and
the more often they hear
snoring pauses followed
by snorts, and a resumption
of breathing (i.e., apneas
-- episodes of obstructed
breathing). Conversely,
in a large percentage of
patients, weight loss down
to an ideal weight has reversed
the process.
Smoking Smoking has numerous
undesirable effects on the
body. Most pertinent to
OSA are the obstructions
to the airway which cigarette
smoking causes: swelling
of the mucous membrane in
the nose, swelling of the
tissue in the throat, and
blockage of the small vessels
in the lungs. Therefore,
add this to another list
of reasons why you should
stop this nasty habit.
