Sleep Disorders

This might be an indication of how poor your heart is functioning. This question is seeking to answer for something called orthopnea, which is shortness of breath with the change in body position. If positive, this may be a sign of pulmonary edema/effusion, which is fluid in the lungs/chest cavity. When a person with this condition sits up, the fluid would collect at the bottom of the chest cavity and he/she can breath easier, so these patients cannot sleep comfortably while laying flat.

REM sleep is our restorative sleep. We all need it to restore our bodies. Patients with Sleep Apnea often have a decrease in the amount of REM sleep they get but still go into REM as does everyone. You may not achieve REM every time you sleep especially when you are just taking a short nap. There may be nights that a Sleep apnea patient does not achieve REM but that does NOT mean they never have REM sleep. When someone who has Sleep Apnea achieves Rem stage the apnea events increase because the tension and mucsles relax causing the obstruction in the airway to get worse. In turn the body reacts to the lack of air by gasping, choking, moving until the obstruction releases long enough for the person to breathe again. This often brings the person out of REM stage and into a lighter stage of sleep or wake stage. Therefore REM is often reduced. Around 20% of our total sleep time a night in REM is consider normal. Most sleep apnea patients' Rem is considerably less than this.

The CPAP mask is connected to the machine using special tubing also known as a hose. One end of the hose connects to an elbow or an adapter on the bottom of the mask. The other end of the hose connects to the CPAP machine output joint. It should fit snuggly, but not be difficult to attach. If it is, then you may not have the right size hosing or adapter for the mask/machine you are using and should contact your Respiratory Therapist, Physician, or CPAP supplier for help in trouble shooting this problem.

REM sleep usually occurs in cycles during the last 5-6 hours of an 8-hour night's sleep. So how much sleep we get in this stage will depend on how much sleep we get for the night. During REM sleep, eye movements increase, heart rate increases, and the normal body processes also increase. It's during this stage that dreams occur, and it's also this stage that we're most likely to wake up in the morning (feeling refreshed). These REM periods last approximately 20 minutes and can occur between 4 and 6 times per a good night sleep. Unlike the non-REM stages, our major muscle groups don't move, so we won't sleepwalk or "jar" ourselves awake during REM sleep.

There are different types of sleeps associated with the sleep cycle. It is important to get a full cycle of REM sleep. REM sleep involves active dreaming. People sometimes have up to five cycles of REM nightly.

Waking up at night drenched in sweat can be a disorienting and uncomfortable experience, often linked to various factors such as stress, anxiety, hormonal changes, or medical conditions like sleep apnea. This phenomenon, known as night sweats, can disrupt sleep and leave one feeling fatigued and anxious.
