What are the 5 major sleep disorders?

Sleep Disorder, also called Somnipathy, is a medical condition, wherein the sleep patterns of human beings are disturbed. And, at times, it can be bad enough to affect the day to day life of the person concerned. Surprisingly, this can also happen to animals. 

These are broadly classified into those involving timing of sleep; and those due to medical or psychological conditions.

Following are the five most common ones:

1.Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): This happens when the airway is blocked  while a person is asleep. This causes breathing difficultly and might even briefly stop, but restart with a gasp.  It can cause reduced oxygen flow and irregular heartbeat. Yet, it might go completely unnoticed.Mostly associated with snoring.

2.Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): This is when a person, while asleep, stops breathing because the brain stopped telling the body to do so. This happens when serious illness affects the lower brainstem, which controls breathing. 

3.Insomnia: This is when a person simply cannot go to sleep no matter what. It can come and go and be either short term or long. This can be either, Primary, where no health or medical issue is involved; or, Secondary, where some kind of health issue is indeed involved.

4.Hypersomnia: This is the opposite of insomnia, with excessive sleepiness. In this case, people can fall asleep at any time, without them even knowing about it. This can be very dangerous if they are involved in activities like driving or working with machinery. It is said that 40 percent of the people have some symptoms of this disorder from time to time.

5.Parasomnias: These are also called arousal disorders, where a person is woken from sleep abruptly. This can happen while asleep; while waking up or while falling asleep.

How Can Oral Appliance Therapy For Snoring Help You?

OSA or Obstructive Sleep Apnea is one of the most common breathing disorders while sleeping. This happens when the tissue in the back of the throat collapse, blocks the airway and stops air from reaching the lungs. This results in heavy snoring.

Snoring is the sound that is produced on the upper side of the throat due to air blockage. Although you breathe in the air, it gets blocked in the passage and is unable to reach the lungs. The sound is the result of the vibration created by the tissue in the back of the throat. While you are sleeping, the sound waves can come from both your mouth and nose.

The new oral appliance therapy for snoring can help get rid of those sleepless nights of your partner.

 

Why you snore?

Snoring can result from:

• Drinking excessive alcohol.
• Overweight
• Smoking blocks the nasal passage.
• Nasal & throat deformities
• An overdose of medicines like sleeping pills and cold medicines.

 

All about oral appliance therapy

Although there are several anti-snoring devices like pillows, nasal strips etc available in the market, none of them is actually effective. This is mainly because none of them actually treat the root of the problem. Some of the best anti snoring devices are:

• OASYS or Nasal Airway system
• SomnoDent
• The Thornton Adjustable Positioner

 

Following are the benefits of using such oral appliance therapy:

 

• Helps both of you to sleep peacefully.

Get The Best Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment With Oral Appliance Therapy

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder in which a person stops breathing intermittently due to physical obstructions of the airway throughout the night. These happens generally for around ten seconds and are often followed by huff and puffs, snorts or gasps as a person's body fights to recommence breathing again. During the sleep, the muscles in the body loosen up so they can begin to renovate themselves to keep you healthy and active every day. on the other hand, muscles in the mouth and throat also relax during sleep, and for some people, these muscles together with soft fatty tissues rest to the point where they move back into the upper airway and obstruct the flow of oxygen from coming in which results in oxygen desaturation and sleep fragmentation.

OSA causes significant morbidity, predominantly in terms of impairment of daytime functioning and the impact this has on quality of life. There is also evidence that links OSA to long-term cardiovascular morbidity, which includes myocardial infarction, hypertension, stroke and believe it or not, it leads to increased risk of motor vehicle accidents. A new study conducted by Center for Sleep and Vigilance Disorders at the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg; Sweden revealed that patients who suffer from lack of sleep were nearly 2.5 times more likely to be the driver in a motor vehicle accident. The study also found that the frequency of motor vehicle accidents was decreased by 75 per cent among sleep apnea patients who used traditional CPAP therapy for an average of at least 4 hours per night.

What does oral appliance therapy offer the sleepless OSA patients?

There is clear substantiation that effective treatment of OSA provides a major advantage to patients. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the current treatment of choice, but its taxing nature makes compliance and acceptance from the patients less than optimal. Some complaint of dry nasal passages, claustrophobia, skin irritation from masks, accidentally removing the mask while tossing at night and difficulty tolerating pressurized air. This gives rise to the need for other alternatives that are more tolerable and equally effective. There is increasing interest in the use of oral appliances to treat OSA and snoring. The reason is that the enlargement of the upper airway by advancing the mandible, tongue, or both and thereby impacts positively on upper airway calibre and function. There are different kinds of oral appliances which have potential advantages over CPAP in that they do not need a power source, make no noise, unobtrusive and are potentially less costly.


There are more than 100 different oral devices on the market for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. The most popular of them is varieties of “mandibular repositioning dental appliances,” devices that move the lower jaw forward. Rest of them are “tongue retaining appliances.” Both are acrylic and fit inside the mouth, much like an athletic mouth guard and serve to decrease the possibility of the sleeper’s tongue falling backwards far enough to block the airway.

Other appliances may fit around your head and chin to adjust the position of your lower jaw as well. Oral appliances are generally helpful in the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea even if they do provide a treatment alternative for patients with severe OSA who cannot or will not tolerate positive airway pressure therapy.

The Healthy Sleep provides Oral appliance therapy in Kerala for Snoring and obstructive Sleep Apnea. Dr. Krishnan, the director of the center is the best in providing Obstructive sleep apnea remedy in India and he is involved in treating obstructive sleep apnea and snoring since 2001.

Eliminate Pediatric Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders And Give Your Child An Undisrupted Sleep

“Pediatric Sleep-related breathing disorders” is a common term referred to breathing difficulties occurs in children during sleep. This condition may range from noisy snoring to Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA is a condition involved with repeated episodes of complete/partial airway blockage during sleep. When a child experiences disrupted breathing during sleep, the body recognizes the problem as “Choking”. In this stage, the heart rate declines, blood pressure rises, the brain wakes up and finally the sleep is disrupted due to the reduced oxygen supply.

Symptoms of sleep breathing disorder in children

Children with sleep disorder are often diagnosed with the following symptoms

• Difficulty in concentration
• Snoring
• Trouble in learning
• Morning headaches
• Sleeping in odd postures
• Irritable, aggressive behavior
• Bedwetting
• Restless sleep
• Drooling
• Mouth breathing
• Difficulty to wake up
• Speaks out with nasal-sound voice
• Poor performance in academics
• Hyperactivity

 

Untreated Sleep breathing disorder leads to the following potential consequences

Enuresis: Sleep-disordered breathing can increase urine production at night times that ultimately leads to bedwetting.
Obesity: SDB may turn the body to increased insulin resistance or daytime fatigue that decreases physical activity. Such factors contribute to obesity in children.
Cardiovascular: Sleep-disordered breathing can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart and lung issues.
Growth: Enough hormone growth cannot be seen in children with SDB that results to slow growth and development.

 

What are the treatments available for Sleep-disordered breathing?

Weight loss is one of the best options for SRBD. Weight loss reduces severity and frequency of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is another treatment option for SRBD.  It delivers a steady air flow through a mask worn over the face or nose. When the air gently blows into the back side of the throat, it makes the airway open, so that the child is able to breathe without any disturbance.

Wearing oral appliance during sleep benefits some children. An oral appliance is like a sports mouth guard which moves the jaw forward to open the airway to give a peaceful sleep.

However, a sleep specialist can decide the right treatment option for children. Dr. Krishnan A Subramanian, the Director of the Healthy Sleep offers effective sleep disorder treatment in kerala. He won many awards and accolades for his excellent service. He is known as the best pediatric sleep disorder doctor in kerala. Meet our doctor for your sleep issues and get treated for a sound sleep.

Do You Know What Happens During Sleep??

Sleep is the time when our body and mind are at rest. Various physiological changes occur in our body during sleep. When we are awake the physiological factors of our body like temperature, blood pressure, oxygen level, glucose content and so on are at optimal levels to facilitate smooth body functioning. However, when sleeping, the level of these are reduced due to the lowering of functional demands.

Assessment Of Physiological Changes During Sleep

Many of the physiological variables like heart rate are irregular in our conscious state. These are slowed down and regularised during sleep. The status of various physiological changes occurring during sleep are as follows: -

Brain Activity

Studies on brain activity during sleep has been going on for quite some years. They have shown that the brain remains active throughout the sleeping hours. In fact, the rate of neuron activity is higher in REM state, stage of sleep associated with dreaming, than during the wake stage. The pattern of neuron activity might be the reason for the intensity associated with dreaming process.

Body Temperature

The temperature of our body is maintained at a certain level during the conscious state with functions such as sweating, changing blood flow, shivering and so on. This procedure of controlling temperature fluctuations is known as thermoregulation. During sleep our body temperature is known to reduce by about two Fahrenheit.

Breath Changes

Breathing during sleep is known to be regularised and slower than during the wakeful hour, when breathing patterns are affected by activity, emotions or stress.

Cardiovascular Activity

The cardiovascular activity varies during sleep and conscious hours. It varies during the different stages of sleep as well. The rate of cardiovascular activity is greater during REM stage of sleep.

Physiological Activity

Physiological activities like urine production are known to decrease during sleep. However, the rate of some activities contributing to growth like production of growth hormone, cell repair and the sort are known to increase during sleep.

The Healthy Sleep, is an advanced centre dealing with sleep related disorders and the first in India to provide Oral Appliance Treatment.

Are You Tired of Getting A Poor Night's Sleep

One of the most common problems faced by people during sleeping is Snoring. It may affect our day to day life negatively. It also affects the quality of sleep by spending energy on sleeping when one is supposed to save energy. Snoring is a type of sound produced due to obstructed breathing while sleeping in which the soft tissues behind the throat loses its muscle tone and starts to vibrate while breathing.    

 

Snoring Causes
 

Generally, snoring is due to vibration of the soft palate. Air passes through airways results in lung strain to get required oxygen. The major factors which cause this obstructed breathing could be the posture of sleep, overweight, alcohol consumption, uses of antihistamines or sleeping pills, facial skeletal anomalies, enlarged tonsils or smoking.
 

Why is snoring a health problem?
 

Some people believe that apart from the disturbance that is caused by snoring, there is no other problem. But snoring could be an indication of a breathing problem or a problem related to the air tube or the passing way of the breathing air. Hence, snoring needs to be thought of as a timely indicator of some sort, which might be a precursor to some serious health issue.
 

Snoring Treatment
 

Usually, the treatments for snoring are limited to customizing and using dental or oral appliances. Oral Appliance Therapy is suggested as the easiest and the most suitable corrective measure for snoring. But in certain cases, where snoring happens due to defect by birth with the facial skeletal system or due to some accident that has changed the course of the face, surgical methods also may be suggested.

The most common oral device used for therapy is the Anti-snoring Device. This device is easily available on websites and pharmacies. Many patients just buy it and use it without proper prescription; as a result they rarely see any improvement in their conditions. What people do not realise is that the usage of these devices should be supported with proper medical solutions. Only a dentist, who is trained in Sleep medicine, can explain a detailed usage of the oral device followed by certain restrictions and lifestyle changes. Only, he is capable of doing so because he has observed and analysed your particular situation.

Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing Treatment

Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) is a term used for children who frequently let out a loud snoring, gasping, snorting, and thrashing sound in bed or unexplained bedwetting. Behavioral symptoms can include changes in mood, misbehavior, and poor school performance.  Not every child with academic or behavioral issues will have SDB, but if a child snores loudly on a daily basis and is experiencing mood, behavioral, or school performance problems, sleep disordered breathing should be tested for. If you note that your child has any of those symptoms, have them checked by an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist).  Sometimes, physicians diagnose sleep disordered breathing based on history and physical examination. 

When a child's breathing is disrupted during sleep, the body perceives this as a choking phenomenon. The heart rate drops, blood pressure rises, the brain is aroused, and sleep gets disrupted. Oxygen levels in blood can also drop.

Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing- Causes and Symptoms

A common physical cause of pediatric sleep disordered breathing is enlarged tonsils and adenoids. Obese children are at an increased risk as fat deposits around the neck and throat can narrow the airway. Children with abnormalities involving the lower jaw or tongue or neuromuscular deficits such as cerebral palsy have a higher risk of developing sleep disordered breathing.

The most obvious symptom of sleep disordered breathing in children is loud decibals of snoring on a regular basis. Sometimes kids can be seen breathing through the mouth, walking restlessly, bed wetting, excessive sleeping during the day, weight loss or being under weight. When such cases persist,immediate consultation with  doctors for Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing, is necessary.

Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing- Diagnosis

Physicians make a diagnosis based on history and physical examination. In other cases, such as in children suspected of having severe OSA due to craniofacial syndromes, morbid obesity, or neuromuscular disorders or for children less than three years of age, additional testing such as a sleep test may be recommended. In this test, wires are attached to the head and body to monitor brain waves, muscle tension, eye movement, breathing, oxygen levels in the blood. The test is not painful and is generally performed in a sleep laboratory or a hospital.

Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing- Treatment

Since enlarged tonsils and adenoids are a common cause for SDB, it's surgical removal is generally considered the first line of treatment.  Many children with SDP show both short and long- term improvement in their sleep and behavior after This kind of surgery.

However, if the symptoms are mild or intermittent, academic performance and behavior is not an issue, the tonsils are small, or the child is nearing puberty (tonsils and adenoids often shrink at puberty), it may be recommended that the child with SDB be watched conservatively and treated surgically, only if symptoms worsen.

There are other alternative treatments like Oral Appliance Therapy, DNA Appliance Therapy, and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). However, these can be prescribed only by an expert specialist. One such leading doctor in India is Dr. Krishnan A. Subramanian.
