You may think your too-late nights and too-early mornings, wake-ups by the kids, or too much screen time before bed are negatively impacting your sleep. These elements could be affecting how well-rested you are. However, if you take care of these habits and manage to squeeze in good nights of rest, you might still be inexplicably exhausted every day. You may be suffering from undiagnosed sleep apnea.
Ahh, winter break. Vacation. Days off. Sleeping in. And yet… you still feel completely exhausted. You wake up a lot at night. You’re ready for a rest but you just can’t seem to get it (and the kids aren’t even waking you up). What gives? Sleep apnea could be the problem, and a serious one at that.
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder which causes a person to stop breathing while they’re asleep. Sounds scary? It is. Untreated sleep apnea can be the cause of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, weight gain, headaches, and memory problems. These sleep interruptions and lack of quality sleep can lead to severe sleep deprivation, something that is particularly dangerous when a person is behind the wheel and detrimental on the job. Sleep apnea, however, is easily diagnosed and treated, and your dentist is often the best resource for this condition.
If your partner snores, you are living with a major disturbance when you want to rest. While the inconvenience to you is annoying (unless you’re a heavy sleeper or can live with ear plugs), a bigger problem is what could potentially be causing your partner’s snoring habit: a breathing disorder known as sleep apnea.
Swimmer Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian in history, but he isn’t only known for his medal count – he’s also incredibly recognizable for his teeth. In every interview Phelps does, it’s impossible not to notice the slight lisp, the crowded teeth, and how his lips sit over his teeth. Could Invisalign help give this amazing American Olympian a smile makeover?
People may joke about their significant other snoring bulldozer. Some folks may say they’re as tired as the dead. But sleep disturbances and overwhelming fatigue affect your ability to function properly, and impact your overall health and wellness. It isn’t necessary to simply tolerate sleep troubles, whether in yourself or your significant other. Sleep apnea could very well be at the heart of your sleep problems, and your dentist’s sleep apnea treatment in Red Bank, NJ, can help.
Everyone is wonderful – I should have never waited so long to go to the dentist!
My whole experience was very rewarding. I am not one who enjoys going to the dentist (I don’t really know anyone who does). So I am usually very anxious. However, the staff and the dentist were very welcoming and put me at ease. They also were very forthcoming about my treatment and priorities. I will … Read more
