Making some simple lifestyle changes to help with sleep apnea. Try to avoid alcohol and medicine. Also, quitting smoke may help with sleep apnea. Often losing weight will help decrease the number of sleep apnea occurrences per night. Changing sleeping habits, such as raising the head of the bed 4 inches or sleeping on your side, can help decrease sleep apnea.

What causes sleep apnea?

Who really knows why we get Sleep Apnea, the better question may be...What causes Sleep Apnea? Sleep Apnea, simply occurs because your airway closes while you are trying to sleep! There are many stages of sleep that we drift in and out of. The stages that we are inclined to get our best sleep, the restorative sleep that we all need to feel good, can also cause our muscles to relax and subsequently closing our airway, causing what is called an arousal. This however is only one way this occurs...if you were to look at he throats of many people with Sleep Apnea, you would see that there throats almost seem small or closed, as opposed to some people you could see all the way down their throat, into their lungs almost! The point being that if you have a throat that is more closed than open, you may have a greater chance of having Apneas. The best way to determine why you may have Sleep Apnea is to have a Sleep Test done by a qualified professional. Not being treated for Sleep Apnea could be very serious to your good health!
