Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Snoring and sleep apnea occur when the throat narrows. This causes a lack of oxygen during sleep and leads to arousal reactions in the brain. In the short term, this leads to symptoms like daytime fatigue, and in the long term, to serious health problems such as cardiovascular diseases.
What causes sleep apnea and snoring?
Muscle Relaxation
Sleep apnea and snoring are often caused by relaxed neck and throat muscles. This relaxation causes the pharynx to collapse during sleep, blocking the airways.
Lifestyle Factors
Excess weight, alcohol consumption, sedatives, and certain sleeping positions can significantly increase the risk of an airway collapse during sleep.
Genetic Factors
Age, jaw structure, neurological disorders, and hereditary predispositions also contribute to disturbed breathing patterns during sleep.
Consequences of Snoring and Sleep Apnea
The collapse of the airways causes the oxygen level in the blood to drop. This happens multiple times per hour and has serious consequences for your health.
Short-Term Consequences
Daytime Fatigue
Reduced energy and concentration increase the risk of accidents and mistakes.
Relationship Problems
Increased irritability and mood swings due to poor sleep can strain relationships with family and friends.
Low Motivation
Persistent fatigue and exhaustion reduce your motivation to pursue daily activities and long-term goals.
Memory and Concentration Problems
Forgetfulness and difficulty concentrating can significantly impair work, studies, and daily tasks.
Long-Term Health Risks
Heart Disease & Heart Attack
Repeated periods of oxygen deprivation and cardiac stress from untreated sleep apnea increase your risk of serious heart problems.
Stroke Risk
Untreated sleep apnea significantly increases the risk of stroke and can lead to permanent disabilities.
Sexual Dysfunction
Poor sleep and low oxygen levels can contribute to sexual health problems, which can affect self-confidence and relationships.
Diabetes Risk
Disturbed sleep negatively affects blood sugar control, increasing the risk and complications of diabetes.
