Does Sleep Apnea cause Daytime counter sleepiness?

by James sleepy
(Boston)

I feel very sleepy during the day. I don't have insomnia, because I know that I sleep all night. But I want to sleep all day. Think I have Sleep Apnea?

Thank You!

Hey James,

Your question is the answer. One of the most common symptom of sleep apnea is tired during the day.

Scientists call this symptom excessive day counter sleepiness.

If you have this symptom for a few months, then something is wrong. It is clear that you sleep well.

Fatigue from frequent awakenings emerges from sleep. Patients with Sleep Apnea have such problems, because the stop breathing asleep, so when they wake up stumble and snorting, but then fall asleep again. And this is over 50 times at night in many cases!

Another cause may be, when we fall into Narcolepsy suddenly asleep at daytime.

Falling asleep while reading

by Nunzio
(Leominster, MA)

No matter how well rested I, every time you sit down to read, you fall asleep after a few points. Could be a newspaper, magazine, book, computer ...

This is a very frustrating problem. I am a writer and reader has always been frenzied. This problem has gotten out of control. It's almost as if I was Hypnotized and told me to fall asleep every time you try to read. Fight, dismayed, slap my face, but nothing helps.

Can help? This is a sign of possible sleep apnia?

Counter sleepiness, fatigue, excessive fatigue, sleep very often during the day, are symptoms of sleep, but the main symptom is when you breathing stops during night hours.

Learn how you can get if you stop breathing in sleep mode on the page about home sleep apnea test.

So, you're tired or fatigue, before starting to read a book? It is important to know the difference between the fatigue and tiredness.

A doctor from Alberta Heritage Foundation for medical research (AHFMR) health scholar, has created new definitions for fatigue, fatigue and exhaustion, and claims that represent various points on a continuum.

The amount of power that an individual has affect how easily this can be customized to emphasize that in how. People who tired is still a fair bit of energy, so although they may feel forgetful and patience and experience gradual or muscle weakness after work, this is often alleviated by the rest of the world.

Fatigue, on the other hand, is characterized by difficulty in concentration, anxiety, a gradual reduction in stamina, difficulty sleeping, increased sensitivity to light and the restriction of social activities, once viewed as important.

People with depletion report Frank confusion that resembles a delirium, emotional numbness, sudden loss of power, difficulties in staying awake and sleeping and full social withdrawal.

There are other sleep disorders that may be associated with symptoms such as:

I would like to propose that we REALLY need to have a study of sleep. This really can shed light on what is happening. A study of sleep will give-or-typically a series of medical conditions.

The ZEO also can help you discover how good or bad is your sleep, and you can get information about what is wrong with you and what to do. With risk 30-day free trial-see sleep data at home and get your personal sleep coaching with Zeo. However, I recommend a study of sleep, even if it is too expensive.

So, go to your doctor (GP) for the work of the laboratory rule vitamin deficiencies, etc. Have thyroid checked, excludes all possible causes of medicine. Then, have a thorough sleep study in clinic.

Be sure to keep you during the day, not only in the evening. In this way can control your Sleep Apnea, Narcolepsy and yperypnia.

Best of luck!

Father of sleep problem

father of sleep

My father is suffering from Sleep Apnea for more than 5 years now, and refuses to get any treatment. Tried to go to Sleeping laboratory should be monitored, but left in the middle of the sleep study and got frustrated.

Also be overweight, however, this is not a smoker. If diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, he was extremely nervous, and it affects his work and personal life greatly.

Please advice any tips that might help improving case, bearing in mind that it is very depressed and refuses to get any treatment.

Thank you in advance

Your father has Sleep Apnea knows, but refuses to get any treatment ...How can a doctor to a patient who does not want to help? How you can help your father?

A person with Sleep Apnea and clinical depression is more difficult to treat a woman with the same problem.

I think that when a man denial about a serious health problem, it is actually very scared:

scared of death,
scared people hesitation when the side of his face droop after a stroke,
scared is not able to protect and provide for their partners and family (our culture socializes boys in taking these expectations, the girls are socialized to caring, creative and. .. nurturing obviously a controversial issue)

A lot of men did not want to admit sign of weakness, and also can associate CPAP with elderly men and do not want to be reminded that they are obsolete.

If you tell your father that went on a study of sleep, but left in the middle of a session, then it sounds like your father knows anything about goofy, but he knows that he can kill him?

Don't let worry most of them already, so don't Take it. My friend's Dad had Sleep Apnea and CPAP machine loathed, so much that if his mother was not careful, will take off, and suffered a heart attack and died from it.

If you have not already done so, to explain that to him, and how it will make you feel if that happened. CPAP therapy is best for Sleep Apnea patients. Maybe the machine will seem less irritating if you know that this will save his life.

I wonder if your father is aware of the effects of untreated Sleep Apnea, which is serious and systematic. Some of them are as follows:

increased risk of heart attack and stroke
increased blood pressure

heart arrhythmias
nocturia (because of the increased pressure in the right ventricle heart makes the House seem much blood volume so produced urine)
headache
excessive fatigue and day counter sleepiness
problems with memory and concentration
weight gain (sleep deprivation causes the weight for many physiological reasons, one is the modification of the hormone leptin and ghrelin)
Type 2 diabetes
There is a link between sleep and GERD
night
depression
anxiety (each apnea event, is a real thirst and elicits the response adrenalin "Fright or flight")
The symptoms of fibromyalgia
incompetence
issues and working relationship
car accidents

I can tell you that CPAP treatment is the key to a healthy life for your father, but depression and obesity and the rest of the side effects of sleep disorders. However, I believe your father wants to talk about it.

In my opinion, no longer through the stages when not all face loss. In your case, I think it is a loss of what he considers good health or freedom and is now bound in this life. And I think the thing "for life" really bother him.

This CPAP is important, and for some it is extremely difficult to adapt. But tearing my heart to see the effects of the incompatible CPAP users, and what it does to their favorite. Often it is simply because the person does not know or understand what impact for them.

I wonder if you could help if you speak with your doctor about your own, then met with the doctor about his. This is likely to be more receptive to words of a doctor.

I recommend also bumber zone for improvement of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, but it works only for patients with mild or moderate sleep apnea. Your father may have serious symptoms and if you look at that position treatment doesn't work, can be more depressed than before.

Thus, a complete sleep study and CPAP treatment is the answer to your question. There is no other magic way, and it is dangerous to look for alternative treatments, when your father is already suffering from depression.

An alternative approach might work for some, but not always work if CPAP your father have adequate pressure settings (that's why you need a sleep study), and the correct mask (you need to test numerous CPAP masks, before buying one).

As difficult as it is sleep apnea, there are worse things can happen to their health. This really needs to find out, and I hope that things work.

Best of luck!

Full upper dentures and Sleep Apnea

by Susan e.
(St. Petersburg, Fl)

Whether removing full upper dentures with bedtime cause language close to the neck, causing Sleep Apnea? Had been diagnosed with one year after the complete upper dentures. Even with a c-pap with a humidifier, I wake up often with my tongue stuck to the roof and back from my mouth, my mouth is very dry, and must have frequent sips of water through a straw in a teacup on stands at night during the night.

Susan, there are people with full upper dentures, but no respiratory problems. Your airway is blocked because your language is set up to your mouth when you sleep. Your language can be very large, or you can have a high arched palate and a narrow jaw.

You have opened and said ahhhhhhhhh while looking in a mirror? Stick your language too, makes it much easier to see tooth marks-often subtle unless you know what you're looking for!

And look in the mirror with your mouth open test to see how large and/or long your uvula.

Other recommendations, it may be that you have a recessed lower jaw or narrow jaw?

Go search ...What you see?

All this goes to anatomy is a factor OSA and selecting the correct treatment for OSA. CPAP is still the least invasive treatment for OSA with a dental splint if works for very mild sleep apnea. It is amazing how many processes are created for OSA proved again this is not a simple condition that may be discussed in one of the causes.

I don't know if you can use a device, dental during the night. But, if you can recommend:

According to the sleep dentists, IATRIKiS coverage begins to get better coverage of dental devices as a first plan of attack on Sleep Apnea. Its certainly cheaper than long-term CPAP for insurance companies and compliance is better, so that the time will start figuring they need to encourage people who try this first.

You will need to pass a dentist certified sleep to get the expertise, equipment and insurance companies.

Also, shop. Prices vary wildly even among certified dentists.

Part of the problem you face if you try cheaper routes to your Find "effectivity". Buy a new Cheap REGISTRATION pulse oximeter really help to call on your approach to use (even CPAP!), in conjunction with caution when you refund of dreams and how you feel every day.

Hope this helps!

Sleep apnea affects sexual desire?

by Brian
(New York)

I get lightheaded for 8 months no interruption and problems getting an erection, this may be a problem with sleep apnea (b) the cause of my life and my relationship is a mess because of ... Next week I'm going to sleep study .... Thank you, Brian

If you have nonstop light-headedness for eight months, then I think you have something serious. The cause may be Sleep Apnea because this sleep disorder affects the level of oxygen and carbon dioxide from the blood.

I suppose you already know that if you have Sleep Apnea, you stop your breathing in sleep mode. If you have a severe Sleep Apnea, possibly hold your breath least for 30 seconds.

Try to hold your breath once only for 30 seconds and then try to make that 100 times per hour! It seems impossible, right?

Now you can understand why Sleep Apnea patient is "anemic", nausea or light-headed during the day ... daily. Not to mention the desire for sex or erection problems ...

In order to answer your question, sleep certainly affects the mood and libido every patient. Depression is also present and affect the quality of life.

Brian, not upset about these problems. Have you ever seen a person with Sleep Apnea who met with success with CPAP? I staked that gained he backs the quality of life and sexual desire.

Yes, just like this! CPAP is very effective, especially for patients with moderate obstructive sleep apnoea. The trick is tolerate to the CPAP treatment. You can learn about this problem here.

But first, go to the sleep study, then perhaps we are talking again.

Best of luck!

Obstructive Sleep Apnea with a child?

by Mullins
(London)

My daughter is 3 March for the past 8 months is waking overnight snorting and angry. Occasionally, however, to sleep at night, but not very often. My doctor of ENT daughters sleep study was reported, the text is kind of a large but tonsils ok? but the doctor believes that perhaps this should raise the nose, depending on the study.

I was wondering why this sleep through is sometimes Sleep Apnea may be?

It was also a baby prem was cpap for 2 weeks and was told as a baby had a larynx could this be connected? also has demonstrated a real frustration during the day and even during the night of dumps feet and gets really worked that I really do not snore, but it is a heavy separator.

Amy thanks

You can describe symptoms that may be associated with Sleep Apnea in children. And Sleep Apnea symptoms in infants and children is a little different than the symptoms in adults.

Why you need to know the difference between harmless snoring and sleep more serious problem. You can override the former, but you must handle the latter.

The only way to verify whether it is snoring or sleep apnoea is for measuring oxygen levels during sleep with a simple apparatus-portable oximeter-snugs in finger or toe of a person. However, only a sleep laboratory to do this reliably.

Thus, the greatest concern for your daughter is that of providing oxygen drops unhealthy levels.

You Said:

waking everynight snorting and angry
has emerged frustration a day
night dumps feet and really rise
is a heavy separator

Well, if your daughter carries around a overpartied teen, acting Moody, irritable, it may be a sign of sleep apnea.

Also, curious percentage of children diagnosed with hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder actually Sleep Apnea. So if your daughter appears hyperactive and sleep deficiencies or snoring, sleep apnea consider as the source.

Another symptom is slowed down development, when sleep apnea actually may slow a toddler or development of children and leave the smaller than it was. This effect takes years to notice, so I'm glad that going along with a study of sleep and don't expect to see this effect.

Best of luck!

Nasivent Tube - Soft Medical Silicone Anti Snoring and Sleep Apnea Aid

Why the NASIVENT Tube®? In three quarters (3/4) of all cases, Snoring and Sleep Apnea is caused by the entrance to the nose being blocked or too narrow. This appears when the muscles of the nostrils and face starts to weaken.

The NASIVENT Tube® helps the group of people whose snoring and Sleep apnea is caused by a nasal blockage, this is happen in (75%-80% in all cases)

Once inserted, the soft silicone pipes adapts the shape of the nose without distort or pressure and this makes breathing through the nose easier for the patient. This conducts that sleeping while lying on your side, combined with breathing through the nose, is given a considerable boost in breathing and oxygen absorption.

Snoring may stop completely or is greatly reduced, due to the fact that sleeping on the back will be avoid. The tongue and soft tissue can't block the windpipe/trachea any more. Unlike that, breathing through the nose with the tongue against the palate creating a seal with the throat, no sound occurs.

Snoring and Apnea will reduce or stop complete. Tested and recommended by many E.N.T. doctors. 1- MD. Med. Mathias Riemann; ENT logopedics. 2- MD. Dieter Rieman, ENT logopedics. 3- MD. Th.

You begin by wearing the Zeo Headband each night.

When you wake up, it gives you a personal sleep score - your ZQ - and shows a graph of your Light, Deep and REM sleep over the course of the night. The bedside display will also present you with information about last night's sleep and how it compares to previous nights. The optional SmartWake alarm feature will look for a "natural awakening point" based on your sleep patterns to decrease the grogginess associated with waking from Deep sleep. When SmartWake is selected, Zeo will find a time to wake you within a half-hour of your set time, never later. The result should be a slightly easier way to wake up

The Zeo Headband accurately and safely measured your unique sleep patterns.

Permanent Apnea topics

by Noreen
(New Hampshire)

Noreen 2009

I had Sleep Apnea for many years now. I am, however, an informal patient. I'm not obese. I am 49 yrs. old, 5 ' 4 "tall, weighed 140 lb, and do not have a large neck as do some patients. My doctors have 4 surgical. I tried CPAP, Bi PAP and oral appliance and have not taken any significant benefit from any of these efforts.

Procedures that tried so far include correction of a deviated septum, UVPP, a UPPP (removal of the rest of the uvula and soft palate tissues) and a Hyoid promotion.

From the past my sleep study, the numbers are worse than ever before, and even worse after all these procedures. I am about my wits end with this.

What else can I mitigate the effect of suffering and every day in my life that had this situation? I need help before something tragic I occurs as a result of having Sleep Apnea. One of my doctors believe that it is intrusive apnea, while another believes that Central Apnea that is causing the problem.

I have seen doctors 5 members for this situation, and I'm still no relief from symptoms. I am the only member of my immediate family members are not yet having a heart attack, and I would like to keep it that way! :-)

Help with advice and direction to a specialist or what you can do so I can resolve to see my children grown and try to have a reasonably normal lives.

Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Your story about Sleep Apnea is very detailed, and I appreciate your effort to write it down. The history of your treatments discloses personal commitment and a great desire to flee Apnea sleep and have a wonderful life.

If others have Apnea Patients your motivation and its commitment to treat sleep disorders, would have been closer to get a good night's sleep.

Some of them I tried really hard from this awful syndrome, just like you. But I must say that today there are more possibilities to address Sleep Apnea than ever.

As I said earlier, I appreciate the information provided in your chain, because I noticed something interesting (personal opinion): you said that your doctor has said that he thinks you have obstructive apnea, and the other believes that you have a central Apnea. And labelling did doctors in 5 States? Wow!

Noreen, I. .. and correct me if I am wrong, that we haven't seen yet a certified sleep specialist, or a sleep Center. No sleep specialist will tell you believes the regarding your disorder, but only the result of a sleep study can reveal high accuracy type your sleep disorders and how serious it is.

I think this is a critical issue for your doctors to get right: the problem Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) or the Central Sleep Apnea (CSA)?

OSA, your brain sends signals to the lungs to breathe, but because of a collapsed the upper airways, air does not take in. Hence a trach will allow you to breath night because your brain sends signals even for the lungs to breathe and the air passing by bypassing the trach EC collapsed the upper airway.

At CSA, your brain forgets to send the message your lungs to breathe. The upper airway collapse, usually not in CSA. Brands does not mean that no breathing.

Bottom line ...you need to know for sure what kind of Sleep Apnea. Then you need to know what causes Breathlessness.

So, before continuing with other tips, please feel free to tell me what kind of doctors have visited so far? This will help gain a better understanding of your Sleep Apnea diagnosis, quality, and recommend certified sleep centers and doctors.

And I have more questions ...Have you actually seen the full sleep studies (not just the summary)???

What you have heard the doctor to say and what is written in reality can be very different things. I will go to any decisions without these sleep studies right there in front of you, so you can tell if you have OSA, CSA or mixed (also known as "complex") sleep.

And what have you tried in the way of CPAP/BiPAP? What problems have you had? Discomfort, poor sleep, fugitive leaks, no improvement AHI, etc? Sometimes you think you've tried everything, but when you actually go back and try to eliminate the factors that caused the problems, you may be surprised that you can benefit from something you've removed as a feature.

I do not say, you cannot test everything already, but it is worth revisiting some of the key approaches with new eyes, before making a permanent hole in your neck or to continue to attempt completely.

Don't give up! Have a great deal of experience in it, and if you get any failure as a lesson, you're closer to cure Sleep Apnea than ever.

Best of luck to you. Sounds like you're in a very difficult situation,

Sleeping side

If my husband is sleeping on the side, then no sleep longer exists and that you do not need and the mask?

My husband is epanastatimenes about wearing the mask. It does not relate to depression and lack of memory and etc. goofy.
What is the best approach?

Sleeping on the side is a very good alternative to CPAP treatment or dental appliances.

Many patients with Sleep Apnea wrote that no longer use a dental device or a CPAP machine when tried successfully release therapy.

However, some patients do not feel any change and yet Sleep Apnea symptoms treatment with position.

I would like to know why sleep in the side served for them, so I asked some questions about the natural conditions.

As expected, almost all severe patients had Sleep Apnea and problems obesity. It is very likely to have too much fat around the airways, so it is pointless to sleep on the side, because air cannot find enough room to pass.

The opportunity to successfully treat Sleep Apnea is CPAP use. From the first night with the CPAP machine should feel rested and energetic. We now have the power to improve the quality of life through exercises, and weight loss.

The only thing needed now is the will for change, because everybody knows how difficult it is to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Only after losing at least 20% of overweight, you should seek treatment position. I'm confident that this time will work.

Before we proceed further with her husband, please take a look at this video where a patient speaks sleep apnea and sleep on the side:

From what I have said, I understand that your spouse cannot tolerate treatment of CPAP. This is a very common situation. Many patients with Sleep Apnea has the same problem.

I assume that your husband has already received the sleep test from a Centre for sleep and know what type of sleep apnea. So if you have mild or moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea, he certainly should try positioning therapy.

If your husband tends to stop snoring or breathe easier when they sleep beside, release therapy might work for him. It is the best way to learn to try cure. It is very cheap compared to other treatments of sleep, less than $ 40, and the product is backed by warranty.

This video shows how positional therapy works:

I recommend Bumber zone, rather than an Anti Snore shirt, where the zone can be configured with the correct size for your husband.

I hope that helps.

The seriousness of the situation

by Lloyd
(Toronto, Canada)

A friend has just been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and was said to be serious. During the overnight test of respiratory interruptions occurred about once a minute, but lasted only 2 or 3 seconds.

I do not know what is the percentage of breath but a brief pause between breaths this size does not appear that people are a big deal. It certainly was a snorer for a long time.

It is now 70 years old, slightly overweight, and had heart bypass around 15 years ago so it is likely that most at risk from someone physically fit later. He performs regularly in a ring. This will use a CPAP.

He and wife traveled will be lugging around so annoying. Please educate in this case people about the issue severity.

Thank you very much!

Severe Sleep Apnea is a serious problem for the health of your friend. It is not so easy to be compatible with a CPAP machine. It is very important to control-after treatment-for one year, if it has improved sleep.

If your friend has problems with the treatment, he would stop breathing in sleep mode and permanently affect the quality of life.

I begin with this video:

If you have Sleep Apnea, you stop breathing during sleep and is upset the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. This imbalance stimulates the brain to restart the process of breathing.

The brain signals to wake up so that the muscles of the tongue and the throat may increase the size of the ship. Then you can escape from the carbon dioxide and oxygen to enter the airway. It is necessary to restart breathing (and can save your life) these waking episodes, but you sleep deprivation.

Sleep apnea is a serious health consequences and can even be life-threatening. The main effects of sleep disorders are:

sleep deprivation, and
deprivation of oxygen.

Some other consequences of sleep is:

Bathroom frequent visits to urinate at night
The burns heartburn
Excessive perspiration during sleep
Dry mouth in the morning
Loud snoring
Children, a concave chest in sleep mode

I hope that this information can help your friend.

Stop breathing while you sleep!

by Neil
(U.K.)

Basically I used to stop breathing while asleep when I was much younger. When this happens I had two options. to breathe in breathe again or until you have to wake up and start breathing normally.

Usually, I tried to wake myself, but it is very difficult can do.

This does not happen for awhile and now recently begins. I don't know if this has always been and will not see but I realized about 30 minutes into my sleep last night. And many of my friends are really my long term health. Any help appreciated.

Thank You
Neil

Some people with Sleep Apnea awareness to stop breathing while asleep. You are right, it is difficult to weak up conscious when you have a problem with your breathing in sleep mode.

However, your brain is active when you sleep and know that you have a problem.

And you know how your brain knows stop breathing while asleep? You at the level of oxygen from your blood drops too low and the carbon dioxide level rises high enough for the brain.

The problem is that sometimes the brain reacts so late that you stop breathing in sleep for 40 seconds or even more!

Hold your breath for 40 seconds if you want to do? I can do that only through education and only two or three times per day.

Now, imagine what will happen is you stop breathing in sleep, as I described, for 70 hours per hour ...How you will feel tomorrow? Very nausea and fatigue, believe me.

So, Neil, how do you feel the next day after your sleep? Do you have excessive counter sleepiness?

In General, the person stops breathing in Sleep Apnea sleep is. I suggest you read about diagnosing Sleep Apnea to determine if you have the symptoms of this type of sleep disorder.

Neil, you've got a mobile with recording option (audio or video)? Try recording your sleep. I did it once (record audio), and it was very interesting. I didn't know how terrible I sleep.

Now, my advice is to go to a sleep Center and have a very good, in London in the United Kingdom. Click here to see where you should do testing sleep in the United Kingdom.

If you want to know what to expect during a sleep study, click here to learn more.

In my opinion, you should talk to your family physician before going there.

However, if you want to experiment, something that may help you sleep without interrupting your breath, try to sleep on the side and not on the back.

This position therapy can be very effective for some people with mild or moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

So, try to put something behind your back, to prevent the restoration. Tennis ball for example.
Or you can try this type of sleep apnea pillow, which is more comfortable.

Your friends are correct. Stop breathing while sleeping certainly affects your health and you will need to do something.

I hope that it is very serious as Sleep Apnea, but you should try a sleep study to know 100%, what is your problem.

Best of luck!

Think I have Sleep Apnea?

by Larisa
(Brazil)

sleep apnea

I am very concerned about my symptoms of sleep. I toss and turn all night and my husband said I snore. Sometimes I wake up and cannot return to standby mode.

Also I wake up feeling groggy and sometimes will prismeno all around my eyes. And my face has a pale color. Sometimes I woke up in a sweat. Also you have awakened from a very fast pulse.

Some mornings, I have no problem with my mucous membrane in my mouth. Haven't had a sleep test issued. Currently I'm wearing an event monitor to monitor my heart to see why fast heartbeat. I really need some help. Some nights I fear to sleep.

During the day I feel very exhausted. If I am standing when that happens. Should sit down until it stops. I would like to know what was wrong. And now I'm pregnant. I fear for my baby.

PLEASE GIVE ME CAN KAPOIOS KAPOIES CHRISIMES SYMBOYLES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, Larisa

Here is what I know, from a newspaper health:

Women during the third trimester of pregnancy may experience an increase in the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and associated blood pressure levels, according to a study in the June 1 issue of the journal SLEEP (01/06/2005).

The study shows that the severity of OSA is significantly higher among women during pregnancy sooner than after those which have kidded. This includes an increased number of pauses in breathing, reduced oxygen saturation levels and approximately twice more arousals from standby.

In your case, I think you have a lot of things that happen and I even suspect that you may have this morning headaches and/or neck pain. Truth?

If you snore, you could have OSA. May is the keyword. This can mean something else.

The baby is very durable so you don't worry about European. at least for a short period of time. In the long term is a different story if you don't take action now.

Best of luck
Attila
