Sleep Apnea Help: Because Who Needs Uninterrupted Breathing Anyway?

Let’s be honest — as if treatment for sleep apnea isn’t merely telling you that breathing isn’t as necessary as the world makes it out to be. It’s not like we need to breathe continuously all night long, right? (Spoiler: They all do, but let’s take the joke seriously for a minute.)

What is the standard treatment for sleep apnea? The CPAP machine. It’s intended to keep your airways open with a steady stream of air but more closely resembles hosting a sleepover with a loud machine that is very much in your personal space. Yes, it gets you air, but let’s not kid ourselves about it being a dream arrangement.

Then there are lifestyle changes: lose weight, stop drinking, sleep on your side. Easy enough in theory, but little did I know that solving sleep apnea took so much work during the day.

Ultimately, we all want that full, restorative night’s sleep. But for now, it’s just about trying to get through the night... even if the help has turned out to be more complicated than we signed up for.

Tidigare har vi skrivit på bloggen om CPAP i husbil och hur det fungerar när man inte har tillgång till elanslutning. Så när vi nu bytt husbil var det självklart att ordna så att det skulle fungera även i denna. . . . @elmiahusvagnhusbil @adriasverige @adriamobil @kamafritid #cpap #cpapmachine #cpapmask #cpaplife #cpapihusbil #husbilsliv #livskvalitet #livsnjutning #sömn #sömnstörning #influencers #vagabond #camping #elmiahusvagnhusbil #reseblogg #reseinspiration #inspiration #levlivet #reiseblogger #p4dalarna #falukuriren #adria #adriatwin #adriatwinsupreme #vanmobile #housecar https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf3eUIxoXZD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

CPAP update. I'm getting up to 7 hrs a night. I'm working on getting to 8. I feel the difference. I do feel much better. #cpaplife #cpaplifeishappylife (at Dover, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2zj1cnjbTq/?igshid=1cb9p3d1vzo6b

Had my first sleep test last night. Yup. That was an experience! Swipe to see the difference on Fitbit! I’m mind blown. Mild obstructive sleep apnea... my throat is crowded. They said it could be because I still have my tonsils. But weight loss helps! I slept really well for the first time in a long time. No shame in my CPAP game! #DarthVader . . . . . . #cpap #cpaplife #ugh #mildobstructivesleepapnea #dreamstation #life #stuff #sleeptest #wires #interesting #fitbit #sleep #goodsleep #refreshed (at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PvuKQF1DH/?igshid=11o2tsgzu3zz4

Sleep Apnea Help: Because Sometimes Breathing Is Overrated

Sleep apnea makes it feel luxurious to breathe during sleep — something you don’t always get to do. But do not panic, it can be dealt with. One of the most common treatments is using a CPAP machine, a device that forces air into your airways to keep them open while you sleep. It’s like a miniature jet engine for your face, but what the hell, it keeps you breathing.

If CPAP isn’t for you, lifestyle changes such as losing weight, sleeping on your side or not drinking alcohol can help. In severe cases, surgery may be an alternative.

Whatever way you go, the most important thing is to find a way to solve the problem and breathe easy again. Because, Let’s be real, sleep is so much better when you can actually breathe all night long.

#FastRepost from @timothyapetty by @fastrepost_app ••• I'm sure there's already a Sleep Apnea Awareness Day, but even so, I choose to recognize it today.  Today would have been the 57th birthday of one of the greatest NFL defensive ends ever to put on pads.  Reggie White was a ferocious defender and one of my favorite athletes of all time.  One of my favorite football memories was in the 1995 NFC Wildcard game when he lead the Packers' defense in shutting down Detroit's offense. The great Barry Sanders, who was having the season of his life with over 1800 yards was held to -1 yards that day.  I have vivid memories of watching that game at my grandparents house and as a long-time Packers fan, it was a proud day.  He was a giant off the field as well according to his teammates, providing leadership and mentoring to younger players coming up in the league and he even became a minister in the last few years of his life.  You may be wondering what any of this has to do with sleep apnea.  Reggie White was a young, strong and healthy man, but on Christmas Night 2004 he went to sleep and never woke up.  He had suffered a cardiac arrhythmia brought on by undiagnosed sleep apnea.  He was just 43 years old. On January 27th 2017 after a normal day of work and a normal afternoon at home I went to bed feeling fine, but was woken up by severe chest pains and pain in my left arm.  My parents took me to the hospital where I was told that at age 39 I was having a heart attack.  My doctor suspected sleep apnea as a potential cause of or at least a trigger for the heart attack.  He ordered a sleep study and they found that not only did I have sleep apnea, but I was having 46 apnea / hypopnea events per hour.  I started using a CPAP machine and it was LIFE CHANGING.  I actually get rest when I sleep now and my health has improved dramatically.  Take a moment today to look up the symptoms of sleep apnea and see if any apply to you and if so, talk to your doctor about a sleep study.  If nothing else, Reggie White's story should show you that sleep apnea does not care how big, strong or in shape you think you are.  #sleepapnea #cpaplife #reggiewhite #greenbaypackers #nfl @_mrwhite1 https://www.instagram.com/p/Brl9w17H6j_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rrncusjw8ciy

I'm avg 2hrs more of sleep since using the CPAP machine. I realize how much sleep I've been missing. WOW But the goal is 8hrs and eventually to get rid of the machine all together. #cpaplife #cpap (at Kent County, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1vwplvjgIs/?igshid=1ooayef0tfdw2
