Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea rates are on the rise. If you suspect or have sleep apnea, we have several mattresses and adjustable bases that can help!

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions can last for a few seconds to a minute or more and can occur many times throughout the night. The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the muscles at the back of your throat relax excessively, blocking the airway. Another type is central sleep apnea, which happens when your brain doesn’t send the right signals to the muscles that control breathing. Complex sleep apnea syndrome, or mixed sleep apnea, is a combination of both obstructive and central sleep apnea.

Common symptoms include

• loud snoring,
• choking or gasping during sleep
• excessive daytime sleepiness
• difficulty concentrating
• irritability

If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to various health issues, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the condition and may include lifestyle changes (like losing weight or changing sleep positions), CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy, oral appliances, or even surgery in some cases.
