What is the reason for excessive sleepiness during day time is this a symptom for any disease?
SaranyaA
Excessive daytime sleepiness can be a symptom of a sleep disorder disease. The treatment is usually simple. The diagnosis can be arrived at after a sleep study. Sleep studies are either a full polysomnogram or a simple at home 5 to 6 lead sleep screening. If one is diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea the usual treatment is a CPAP machine. Unfortunately the compliance rate for CPAP machines after one year is only 75%. A new treatment option is available that works great for mild to moderate cases. This option is a dental appliance that helps keep the jaw positioned in the forward position. This simply opens the patient's airway, which allows better oxygen saturation in the blood and consequently the brain, which translates to a more restful night sleep. R. Alston DDS
