This is the VOA Special English Health Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Loud snoring can be a problem, and not just for other people trying to sleep with the noise. It can also be a sign of sleep apnea. People with this condition repeatedly stop breathing while they sleep — and may not even know it. Dr. David Gross at the National Rehabilitation Hospital of Washington says: “Sleep apnea means that the airway, the upper airway, cuts off at night … The muscles get all relaxed and cut off and this can happen over and over again, sixty to one hundred times an hour.”Most people who snore do not have sleep apnea. But doctors say most people with sleep apnea do snore. Sleep apnea not only reduces sleep quality and makes people feel tired during the day. More and more studies show that it can also lead to strokes and heart attacks. Dr. Michael Twery at the National Institutes of Health explains why: “Whenever we run out of enough air to breathe, it sends alerting signals to our minds. It raises the level of stress hormones. It tells our heart to work harder.”When a person stops breathing, oxygen levels in the blood decrease. This happens again and again with sleep apnea. Dr. Twery compares the effect of sleep apnea to racing a car engine for long periods of time: “Our heart becomes overworked and we become more vulnerable to heart attack.” And also strokes.

If you think you have insomnia, talk to your health care provider. An evaluation may include a physical exam, a medical history, a sleep history & biofeedback ( www.QuantumBiofeedback.info www.BodyElectric.webs.com ). I may ask you to keep a sleep diary for a week to investigate sleep patterns as well your energy level during the day. I may want to chat with your bed partner about the quantity and quality of your sleep as well. In some cases, you may be referred to a sleep specialist for in depth sleep tests. Chronic insomnia therapy should include your doctor investigating any underlying conditions or health problems that may be causing the insomnia. If a physical disorder is ruled out and If insomnia continues, we may may suggest behavioral approaches help you to change insomniac behaviors and to help you learn new behaviors for better sleep ie regular biofeedback sessions, relaxation & other exercises, sleep restriction therapy.

We are all given the ability from birth to perform certain bodily functions. While we won’t go into detail specifically, among those functions like eating — is sleeping. When we’re newborns, we can sleep — perhaps not for very long, but we know how to sleep. Sleep is an innate ability that usually doesn’t take much effort at all. I mean, how simple can it be to sleep? You just close your eyes, relax and get taken away to dreamland. But for many, many people, sleeping isn’t as easy as that.
