Overnight cure for poor sleep: the benefits of CPAP

a Simple home sleep tests can detect apnea and CPAP machines provide a 100% cure.

This revolutionary machine treats the snoring of sleep apnea, a potentially life-threatening condition. Here is what CPAP machine users say about how their lives have changed.

Sleep apnea is a fairly common disorder—one in five adults in the United States have at least a mild case of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Loud snoring is the common complaint of those who share a bed with an OSA sufferer, but there is more going on inside the body of a person with OSA besides annoying snoring. “Sleep apnea occurs when breathing is briefly and repeatedly interrupted during sleep, and it’s caused by a blockage or collapse of the upper airway,”. “These interruptions, also known as apneas, are caused by the collapse of soft tissue in the airway, which, in turn, keeps oxygen from reaching the lungs. Weak muscles in the airway, a large tongue, and obesity may also cause the airway tissue to collapse and obstruct breathing.”

You may notice that your bed partner snores for a bit, then stops and gasps for air. This cycle isn’t healthy for the person with OSA and certainly doesn’t lend itself to a peaceful night’s sleep for the bed partner—and it’s why a CPAP machine can make such a difference. “If left untreated, OSA can give rise to daytime sleepiness and fatigue, high blood pressure, impaired cognition, and increased risk of car accidents. There are also associations with OSA and heart failure and heart attacks, stroke, cardiac rhythm irregularities, type 2 diabetes, and poor academic performance,”
