However, for people\nsuffering from sleep apnea in Weatherford, could this further contribute to the\nproblem? An expert in sleep dentistry weighs in to answer that question and to\nexplain what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weatherfordsleep.com\/what-is-sleep-apnea.html\">sleep\napnea<\/a> is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Sleep Apnea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you been told you\u2019re a loud snorer? If so, you could be\nsuffering from sleep apnea, which refers to frequent pauses in your breathing\nwhile you rest at night. These lapses cause the brain to send alert messages\nthat awaken you repeatedly throughout the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, you can be left feeling lethargic the next day, after\nwhat should have been an adequate amount of sleep. Here are some of the other\nsymptoms you may notice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Irritability<\/li><li>Depression<\/li><li>Bed-wetting<\/li><li>Forgetfulness<\/li><li>Decreased libido<\/li><li>Inability to focus<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with these changes, your health can greatly be\ncompromised when you don\u2019t get the proper amount and quality of rest needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Alcohol Consumption Affects the Sleep Cycle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While alcohol may seem to go hand-in-hand with the process\nof sleeping since it\u2019s considered to be a depressant, it can actually be a\nhindrance to your nightly sleep-cycle for three reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1 \u2013 Prevents REM Sleep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coveted level of slumber that contributes to maintaining\nexcellent health is REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. At this stage, the body produces\nmore growth hormone (to rejuvenate the mind and body), prolactin (to fortify\nthe immune system) and many other health-supporting hormones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alcohol consumption before bed, though, limits the chances\nof getting to this phase of sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 \u2013 Interrupts Natural Sleep Patterns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The human body contains a natural clock that tells it when\nto sleep and to awaken, which is called its circadian rhythm. Consuming alcohol\nbefore bed has been found to throw-off the timing of this internal intelligence\nand to further decrease the chances of you getting sufficient rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 \u2013 Makes Breathing Problems Worse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea\n(OSA), which involves a partial blockage of the airway that makes it harder to\nbreathe while you sleep. Studies have found that drinking alcohol can exacerbate\nthe situation by further contributing to the relaxation and collapse of the throat\nmuscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are There any Alternatives?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is you don\u2019t have to completely abstain from\ndrinking alcohol. Instead, some slight adjustments can make a significant\ndifference. You can start by expanding the time between drinking your last alcoholic\nbeverage and retiring for bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, it\u2019s a good idea to practice moderation. By\ncutting back on the quantity of alcohol you consume, you have a better chance\nof getting the valuable sleep your body desperately needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with making some adjustments based on what you\u2019ve\nlearned, you should be sure to reach out to your local sleep dentist to get the\nprofessional therapy you need to recover from sleep apnea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By being proactive, you can rest better and remain as\nhealthy as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A graduate of Baylor College of Dentistry, Dr. Deborah A.\nRomack has over two decades of experience practicing dentistry.
