Doubling the pressure of life in modern society, sleep is a kind of incense can be described as a rare realm, those who fall asleep faster, sleep睡到天亮the "sleep of God", in particular, to be envious of. However, according to the United States, "Science Daily" Web site reported that the United States and Mexico and Egypt, a University of the latest research results show that people who sleep too often accompanied by a considerable number of "sleep apnea", which may lead to increased blood pressure and thus increase the risk of the risk of heart disease.

"sleep end," not necessarily a good thing

the saying goes, "Autumn春困poor summer nap,睡不醒of winter in March." Sleep as a necessary process of life is a body recovery, integration and consolidation of an important part of memory. In their daily lives, those who "sleep end," or "one sleep until dawn," is often very envious of people with the "ability to sleep" is often regarded as healthy. But is this really the case?

from bed ready to fall asleep to sleep EEG showed, it generally takes 15-30 minutes, time is too short or too long in fact, symptoms are abnormal, too long is that people are familiar with the "difficulty falling asleep type of insomnia "; but short people are often overlooked and misunderstood. The reality is that "the end, sleep" is likely to be issued a warning sign the body is a precursor to the arrival of the disease.

Taiwan by the end of May of Sleep Medicine published a study reported that only a serious lack of sleep or suffering from certain sleep disorders (such as "sleep apnea syndrome", referring to the breathing in his sleep suspension of the phenomenon, the disease is usually in the trachea caused by mechanical problems, and sometimes it may be the harbinger of the nervous system disorders) who has the "go to sleep immediately," the ability. These people not only in bed, "sleep end," and even be able to sleep sitting or standing.

Taiwan supervisors of Sleep Medicine Brigham吕政said that in Taiwan, the prevalence of sleep apnea patients is approximately 3%, but most patients do not know. Incidence until a long time, only to sleep clinic to seek treatment, then long-term hypoxia in sleep and central nervous system of the brain may have been deeper degree of injury, lost a golden opportunity early treatment.

obstructive disease accounted for the bulk

sleep apnea what "evils" of the nervous system do? American Medical博士特里Yang, "New England Journal of Medicine" article said that the clinical definition of apnea refers to breathing at least twice the spacing of 10 seconds, which will appear during the human body oxygen saturation dropped and so on. Under normal circumstances, sleep apnea syndrome can be divided into three types: the central type, obstructive type and complexity. Central-type refers to the brain is no longer the trachea to the respiratory muscles to control the issue of the appropriate signal, causing apnea; obstructive airway muscle occurs because of physical relaxation, so that tracheal narrowing, temporarily blocking access; hybrid is the first two mixed. Three types of symbolic representation is "loud snoring."

in three types of sleep apnea, most people familiar with the highest incidence is obstructive, which together account for 84% of the total cases, central and complex account for only 0.4%, respectively, and 15%.

interrupted breathing one night a few hundred times

of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients, the brain will be induced into the body hypoxia Therefore, physical force command to breathe, resulting in short to wake up. Once awake, the Department of the resumption of tension in the throat, respiratory tract open, on the resumption of normal breathing, the patient can go to sleep. But fell asleep after the throat collapse and the beginning of relaxation, breathing force also increase the degree of sleep was interrupted again. This vicious cycle of interrupted sleep every night hundreds of times over, with the result that patients can not be a deep sleep, so it appeared in the daytime symptoms of sleepiness, which affects the work, and even lead to dangerous accidents. However, most of the breathing interruptions and wake up very short time, patients do not remember it.

In addition to the impact of people's work and life, OSAS is more terrible is that it can induce high blood pressure, heart failure, myocardial infarction. Emory University School of Medicine, director of the U.S. physician Michael Hardt's research, supported this view, his papers have been published in the United States "respiratory cell and molecular biology journal" on.

good habit which will help to ease symptoms

Although the patients were eager to shake off this disease problems, but should not go on trying. A lot of small ads are claimed to have advanced equipment or medicine can cure OSAS, this is common sense made a mistake. OSAS is a chronic disease is closely related to living habits, you can control it is difficult to eradicate. American Academy of Sleep Medicine will provide a general treatment of the following programs: the maintenance of ideal body weight; bedtime to refrain from drinking alcohol will inhibit breathing, so that after sleep apnea more frequently the case seriously; avoid taking sleeping pills, it will inhibit breathing, throat muscles to reduce reflection and increase the disease;侧睡posture to adopt, because some people only have apnea when flat, but this method is only effective for some patients; some drugs alleviate the symptoms of nasal obstruction, these drugs channel can be used to expand the nose to reduce snoring, but only to improve the flow of nasal airflow, and can not solve a serious snoring or sleep apnea obvious.
