Do you often wake up tired even after a good night’s sleep? Have you been irritable, have acid reflux in the morning, are unable to concentrate and find it difficult to memorize things or even figure out where you kept your car keys last night? You’re not alone.

In today’s busy and hectic life, we often forget to take care of ourselves or our loved ones. We also tend to ignore the little things that can go a long way in ensuring a long and healthy life. One of these is a good night’s rest.

How can sleeping better help?

A restful night’s sleep ensures that our body gets the time it needs to repair itself physically and mentally, leading to holistic rejuvenation. Sleeping well helps our body to take on the rigors of the weekday with ease, boosting productivity and reducing bouts of depression, anxiety, body aches, throat aches, headaches and boosting our immunity.

How do I know if I am not sleeping well?

The first way would be to ask your partner—they might not be getting a full night’s rest either due to a simple reason—snoring. Snoring is caused when the muscles in your throat relax and the tongue falls back on the throat. This makes it difficult for you to breathe and causes snoring. Snoring is the first tell-tale sign of an underlying illness called sleep apnea.

What is sleep apnea?

To put this into the simplest of terms, sleep apnea can be envisioned as having trouble breathing nearly 30 times an hour. For sufferers of sleep apnea, this is exactly what happens when they are asleep. This problem leads to a deficiency of oxygen that reaches the brain and can have far-reaching health implications than just a bad day at work—if left untreated, that is.

What happens if sleep apnea is left untreated?

Sleep apnea has been cited as one of the precursors to heart failure, type II diabetes, anxiety and depression. If left untreated, sleep apnea can pave the way for life-threatening conditions.

How can I avoid sleep apnea?

Simple lifestyle changes or using a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure therapy) machine one can help you to easily avoid the ill-effects of sleep apnea. Using a CPAP machine helps you sleep better by maintaining a positive airway pressure—which means that you get more air into your lungs, helping your brain and your body with the life-giving oxygen it needs.
