Sleep apnea syndrome is the phantom that disrupts the lives of millions of unsuspecting victims. Their sleep is repeatedly disturbed by snoring, by choking halts in breathing, & by gasping efforts to breathe. Their struggle to breathe during sleep is a major cause of daytime sleepiness, accidents, poor health, lost years of productivity & happiness, & even death. This handbook by a doctor & a patient guides people with sleep apnea & their families to take advantage of dramatically effective medical treatment. They explain the meaning of snoring & the mechanics of sleep apnea as well as how to recognize it, obtain a diagnosis, treat it, & overcome social, physical or emotional obstacles to recovery. "This is a sleep apnea self-help manual that even professionals could find useful."--Suzan E. Jaffe, Ph.D., A.R.N.P., Clinical Director, Sleep Disorders Center.

Author Rob Simon has been on a quest: How do I stop snoring and save my marriage? Thanks to the author's diligence, humor, and-in no small part-the willingness of his mate to hold onto hope, millions of snorers and snorees may find their own solution to snoring, one of the most widely deliberated about and challenging conditions around the world. Snore No More! is no first-person account. Rather it's a well-researched book written by a man-men are twice as likely to snore as women-who knows the trials and tribulations of snoring and leaves no topic unturned in his hunt for answers. The result is an entertaining, humorous, and very informative book that covers everything from how to say snore in many of the world's languages to the effects of diet on snoring. Other topics include snoring surgeries (several of which the author has undergone), effects of sleep loss on snorees, and even dealing with pet snoring. Snore No More! is destined to become a must-have book for anyone who snores or lives with a snorer. The book's insights, suggestions, and documentation alone make it a valuable reference-one that just might keep snorers up all night reading.

People with severe sleep apnea may struggle for breath all through the night, not breathing for as long as ninety seconds at a time during their sleep. This syndrome, which affects at least four percent of men and two percent of women, can cause daytime fatigue, traffic and work accidents, deteriorating cognitive abilities, and cardiovascular problems. Yet until now there has been no accessible discussion of the history, physiology, and risk factors of sleep apnea. In this book Peretz Lavie, an expert in sleep research, tells the complete story of sleep apnea for the first time. The book provides: • an explanation of the symptoms of sleep apnea, including the most important one, snoring; • an up-to-date description of the risk factors; • a clear explanation why sleep apnea causes cardiovascular problems; • a discussion of children’s breathing disorders in sleep; • advice on how to get a consultation and diagnosis; • evaluations of the treatments currently available; • practical recommendations on how to live with the syndrome; • interviews with the key figures in sleep apnea research; • and more.

Thirty-two days underground. No heat. No sunlight. 4 June 1938. Nathaniel Kleitman and his research student make their way down the seventy-one steps leading to the mouth of Mammoth Cave. They are about to embark on one of the most intrepid and bizarre experiments in medical history, one which will change our understanding of sleep forever. Undisturbed by natural light, they will investigate what happens when you overturn one of the fundamental rhythms of the human body. Together, they enter the darkness. When Kleitman first arrived in New York, a penniless twenty-year-old refugee, few would have guessed that in just a few decades he would revolutionise the field of sleep science. In Mapping the Darkness, Kenneth Miller weaves science and history to tell the story of the outsider scientists who took sleep science from the fringes to a mainstream obsession. Reliving the spectacular experiments, technological innovation, imaginative leaps and single-minded commitment of these early pioneers, Miller provides a tantalising glimpse into the most mysterious third of our lives.

A narcoleptic's tireless journey through the neuroscience of disordered sleep Whether it's a bout of bad jet lag or a stress-induced all-nighter, we've all suffered from nights that left us feeling less than well-rested. But for some people, getting a bad night's sleep isn't just an inconvenience: it's a nightmare. In Sleepyhead, science writer Henry Nicholls uses his own experience with chronic narcolepsy as a gateway to better understanding the cryptic, curious, and relatively uncharted world of sleep disorders. We meet insomniacs who can't get any sleep, narcoleptics who can't control when they sleep, and sleep apnea victims who nearly suffocate in their sleep. We learn the underlying difference between morning larks and night owls; why our sleeping habits shift as we grow older; and the evolutionary significance of REM sleep and dreaming. Charming, eye-opening, and deeply humanizing, Sleepyhead will help us all uncover the secrets of a good night's sleep.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent sleep disordered breathing disorder. It has become apparent that in more than half the patients with OSA, the frequency and duration of apneas are influenced by body position. To treat patients with Position Dependent OSA (POSA), positional therapy can be considered for preventing patients from sleeping in the worst sleeping position. Treatment of POSA has advanced dramatically recently with the introduction of a new generation of positional therapy. Positional Therapy in Obstructive Sleep Apnea presents improved OSA diagnostic methods and the tools needed to implement positional therapy in clinical practice. This includes patient work-up, positional therapy with or without other treatments, consequences of guidelines and future developments. Clinicians, students and researchers will find this comprehensive guide to be an invaluable resource for evaluating and treating sleep breathing disorders.

For most, this is a term that is not well known. There are a number of different reasons that you may have found yourself learning about this condition. You may have been recently diagnosed or know of someone that has been. Or, you may be wondering if you are having these episodes yourself. The fact is that many suffer from it or may be having the early symptoms of it and they may not even realize it. Although that is the case for many, it doesn't have to be for you. Sleep apnea is a serious condition and should be taken with heart. But, before you become overwhelmed with your own needs, take the time to learn more about this condition so that you can improve your situation.Sleep apnea is actually a disorder that happens when you are sleeping. You may have heard it called sleep apnea as well. In either case, the end result is the same. It is characterized by the fact that you have pauses in your breathing while you are sleeping. When this happens the episodes are called apneas. This term actually means without breath. The seriousness of your condition is defined, at times, by how long these episodes actually last. For some, it is just one missed breath while for others it can be many more. The bottom line is that this happens many times while you are sleeping and that leads to all sorts of complications, as you can imagine.There are actually two different types of sleep apnea that you may be experiencing. Central and Obstructive are the two differences. In Central, you will find that the problem is caused by a lack of effort by your body. With Obstructive sleep apnea, there is something that is blocking or obstructive your ability to breathe properly.
