Sleep Problems and Suggestions

This is the VOA Special English Health Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Loud snoring can be a problem, and not just for other people trying to sleep with the noise. It can also be a sign of sleep apnea. People with this condition repeatedly stop breathing while they sleep — and may not even know it. Dr. David Gross at the National Rehabilitation Hospital of Washington says: “Sleep apnea means that the airway, the upper airway, cuts off at night … The muscles get all relaxed and cut off and this can happen over and over again, sixty to one hundred times an hour.”Most people who snore do not have sleep apnea. But doctors say most people with sleep apnea do snore. Sleep apnea not only reduces sleep quality and makes people feel tired during the day. More and more studies show that it can also lead to strokes and heart attacks. Dr. Michael Twery at the National Institutes of Health explains why: “Whenever we run out of enough air to breathe, it sends alerting signals to our minds. It raises the level of stress hormones. It tells our heart to work harder.”When a person stops breathing, oxygen levels in the blood decrease. This happens again and again with sleep apnea. Dr. Twery compares the effect of sleep apnea to racing a car engine for long periods of time: “Our heart becomes overworked and we become more vulnerable to heart attack.” And also strokes. Dr. Twery led a study of about nine thousand people who had sleep apnea but no history of heart disease. The …

last night i noticed my husband gasping for air in his sleep. We went to the doctor today and they said they need to do some tests on him to see if he has sleep apnea. He is 37 years old, and in excellent health. He doesnt smoke, exercises every day and eats healthy. If it turns out he has sleep apnea what kind of changes will we have to make? I dont know much about this condition but im very scared at the thought of the one i love having it. Ive heard of people dying from this. Im so worried, any info would be appreciated.

What are the causes of poor sleep quality? What is the cause of insomnia on a cell level? Why do sick people have worse sleep for virtually all health conditions? We need to connect sleep with automatic breathing during sleep. In fact, your breathing is the main factor that defines your quality of sleep. Sleeping problems are present in normal people. About 10% of Western people suffer from chronic insomnia (Roth T, Roehrs, 2003; Pigeon, 2010) and many more have mild sleeping problems. What are their causes? Over 90% of modern normal people are heavy breathers (see the links with dozens of studies below). Sick people breathe even more, as over 50 medical studies testify. This relates to people with heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, asthma, COPD, and many other chronic disorders. Deep and fast breathing causes low CO2 levels in the body cells. This makes the brain over-excited (since CO2 is a natural sedative of nervous cells) and body muscles tense (since carbon dioxide is a strong relaxant of muscles). For example, medical research suggests that hyperventilation “leads to spontaneous and asynchronous firing of cortical neurons” (Huttunen et al, 1999 – published in a journal devoted to neurology). These spontaneous and asynchronous signals or thoughts create insomnia and other problems with sleep, including sleep disordered breathing. In addition, low brain oxygen content worsen sleep due to anaerobic cell respiration caused by tissue hypoxia. This generates free …

Dr Christian takes part in sleep apnea tests along with two other patients. Both patients are very noisy when they snore and suspect that they stop breathing during their sleep.
