    Sleep Apnea: The Hidden Condition That Can Kill You In Your Sleep

    Sleep apnea may well be your problem if you're finding it difficult to get a good night's rest. A large number of people have this unpleasant condition. The good news is that many ways of managing it are available. Ahead, you will find some great advice to help in managing sleep apnea.

    If you are suffering with sleep apnea due to having narrow airways, you should get yourself a mouth guard to use when sleeping. Devices like these can align your airways properly to allow you better sleep. Ask your doctor to help you get fitted for a mouth guard.

    Do you occasionally drink or smoke? Take steps to eliminate these unhealthy habits. Your airways are affected by using both of these substances. Smoking and alcohol combined can definitely cause sleep apnea. If losing these habits is not possible, then at least limit yourself before going to bed.

    Giving up smoking and drinking can help to improve your sleep apnea. These habits can cause airways to relax too much, which can worsen sleep apnea and snoring. Unlike having expensive surgery or other medical procedures, eliminating these harmful habits actually saves money for you.

    Even kids can suffer from sleep apnea. There are a multitude of symptoms that can determine whether your child has sleep apnea. Sometimes parents mistakenly think these symptoms have to do with something like ADHD, and it is best that you talk to your child's doctor to find the true culprit.

    A doctor looks at both your medical history and family history when diagnosing sleep apnea. You can do sleep studies and the things the doctor finds will guide him on making a decision on what can be done.

    You need a regular sleep schedule if you suffer from sleep apnea. Sleeping at weird hours of the day can worsen your sleep apnea. So, anything that you can find that will help rebuild healthy sleep patterns is a must to help you live a healthier lifestyle. Go to sleep and wake up at set times each day, even the weekends, for the best results.

    Don't use more than one standard pillow. Over-sized pillows may lead to you sleeping in an unhealthy position. Pillows that lift your head can cramp the airways that you need to be open to be able to breathe properly as you sleep. With this in mind, use only a single pillow to minimize sleep apnea symptoms.

    People with sleep apnea often get good results by losing weight. The condition is common in overweight patients that have larger neck circumferences. Even a modest amount of weight loss can increase air flow and decrease airway pressure.

    A great method of reducing your sleep apnea symptoms is strengthening your throat muscles. When the soft tissue of the throat collapses, the airway becomes blocked and sleep apnea occurs. As your muscles strengthen, they will be more likely to keep your airways open.

    A CPAP machine is a common treatment tool for sleep apnea; if you use one, you should also ask your physician about getting a heated humidifier. When your sleeping in conditions of warm and moist air, you will most likely adhere to the CPAP therapy. Your physician can help you select a full-featured CPAP machine that includes
