Pure Sleep Cycles Presents Sleep Apnea:

Sleep apnea (or sleep apnoea in British English) is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Each episode, called an apnea, lasts long enough that one or more breaths are missed, and such episodes occur repeatedly throughout sleep.The standard definition of any apneic event includes a minimum 10-second interval between breaths, with either a neurological arousal (a 3-second or greater shift in EEG frequency, measured at C3, C4, O1, or O2) or a blood oxygen desaturation of 3–4% or greater, or both arousal and desaturation.Sleep apnea is diagnosed with an overnight sleep test called a polysomnogram, or a "sleep study".

Symptoms Of Sleep Apnea:

  • Excessive daytime sleepiness.
  • Waking with an unrefreshed feeling after sleep, having problems with memory and concentration, feeling tired, and experiencing personality changes.
  • Morning or night headaches. About half of all people with sleep apnea report headaches.
  • Heartburn or a sour taste in the mouth at night.
  • Swelling of the legs.
  • Getting up during the night to urinate (nocturia).
  • Sweating and chest pain while you are sleeping.

 

Pure Sleep Cycles Presents: Excessive Snoring (Yourself or Partner):

Snoring is a sound made when you breathe through your mouth and nose when you are asleep. It happens when air does not move smoothly through your air passages, making tissue in your mouth, nose and throat vibrate as the air passes through. The flow of air can be blocked because of excess tissue in the nose, mouth and throat, the position you sleep in, or because of a health condition. Excessive snoring can be very cumbersome to both the sleeper and their partner. It can also be a possible sign of a more serious health problem, like sleep apnea.

Symptoms of Excessive Snoring:

  • Abruptly waking in the middle of the night
  • Partner or other household members having trouble falling asleep
  • Partner or other household members having trouble staying asleep
  • Waking up feeling "unrested" after sleep
