Maybe you\u2019ve been waking up with splitting headaches. These are common symptoms of sleep apnea and can begin to drastically affect your day-to-day life. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drljadam.com\/sleep-apnea-therapy.html\">Sleep apnea<\/a> is a common disorder affecting over 20 million adults in the United States, most of those cases going undiagnosed. This condition is characterized by multiple breaks or pauses in breathing during sleep. If you believe you have sleep apnea in Worthington, you can try these 5 tricks to enjoy a restful night of rest again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintain A Healthy Lifestyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gaining weight can affect your throat muscles and ability to\nbreath. The more fat that\u2019s deposited around your airways, the more likely you\nare to have a less peaceful night of rest and experience symptoms of sleep\napnea. Some ways you can reach and stay at a healthy body weight include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Having a high-fiber diet by eating fresh\nvegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds.<\/li><li>Consume healthy fats and eat enough protein to\nhelp build muscles. Healthy fats include avocado, nuts, and seeds. <\/li><li>Exercise routinely to help regulate hormones and\nburn calories. Getting at least 30 minutes of activity each day can help break\nup nasal congestion. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try A New Sleep Position<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sleeping on your back can make your sleep apnea symptoms and\nsnoring worse. Instead, try raising your head so your tongue doesn\u2019t press\nagainst the back of your throat to help with snoring. The University of Maryland\nMedical Center recommends sleeping on your side with a pillow to keep your head\nelevated to relieve symptoms of sleep apnea. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use A Humidifier <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re experiencing nasal congestion, sore throat, or\nheadaches, adding some moisture to the air in your bedroom can help ease your respiratory\nsystem\u2019s irritation. As a result, you\u2019ll notice less congestion and more opened\nairways. You can also add essential oils such as eucalyptus to your humidifier\nto aid in opening your lungs and airways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Tobacco and Excessive Alcohol Consumption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maintaining a nutritious diet and exercising isn\u2019t the only\nlifestyle choice that can help with your sleep apnea. When you stop using\ntobacco and limit your alcohol consumption, you may notice fewer symptoms.\nBecause alcohol relaxes your muscles, people who regularly drink have less\ncontrol over their throat muscles, leading to snoring and obstructed airways. Additionally,\ntobacco use can cause inflammation and snoring. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider Using an Oral Appliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If none of these tips are doing the trick, visit your doctor\nin order to get a diagnosis so you\u2019ll be able to seek out treatment options\nlike oral appliances. These are less cumbersome than continuous positive airway\npressure (CPAP) therapy and are a more comfortable easy-to-use alternative. After\nyou\u2019ve been diagnosed, your dentist can create a custom-fitted guard that\nshifts your jaw to open your airways and allow you to breathe easier. You can take\nthe first step to get a more restful night of sleep by scheduling a\nconsultation with your dental professional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why put yourself through experiencing all of those\nuncomfortable symptoms when you don\u2019t have to? Sleep apnea isn\u2019t just an\nuncomfortable sleep disorder, it can also affect how you function during the\nday. Get your health and sleep schedule back on track by trying out some of\nthese tips and tricks.<\/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\">As a sleep apnea patient himself, Dr. LJ Adam understands\nthe frustration of having to go about your day without decent sleep.
