What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is an involuntary obstruction of breathing during sleep that causes a complete cessation of air flow to the lung. Each obstruction lasts for a minimum of 10 seconds and in some cases may last as long as two minutes.
General Tips for Good Night’s Sleep
Exercise for at least twenty minutes, about three to six hours before bedtime - vigorous exercise raises body temperature. The decline in body temperature that occurs after exercise sends a strong signal to the brain that helps to induce sleep a few hours later. In addition, physical activities generally improve sleep quality.
We deliver and maintain a high standard of patient care in the diagnosis, control and treatment of different kinds of sleep disorders. Many people think insomnia is incurable and can only be endured. Most people suffer from snoring and this is usually not true.
