I spoke a bit the other day about sleep disorders. One such sleep disorder is sleep apnea. I know of several people with it who were the CPAP machine to sleep, and it’s saved their life. Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by obstruction in your upper airway, and you will actually stop breathing in your sleep. Your body strains to breath during your sleep apnea episodes, and most people don’t even realize they have it until a family member or sleeping partner clues them in. If you let sleep apnea go untreated, you can actually develop heart disease from it. If you think you have a sleep disorder, see a doctor. He can send you for a sleep sturdy so that you’ll be properly diagnosed.
