This condition results when you can’t get enough oxygen into your lungs while you sleep. The common causes of sleep apnea include: Smoking Alcohol use Being overweight High blood pressure Airway obstructions You may also be at increased risk for developing sleep apnea if your parents or siblings have the condition. If left untreated, sleep apnea can cause heart disease, stroke, or a heart attack. Narcolepsy is another type of sleep disorder that causes you to feel excessive sleepiness, episodes of sleep paralysis, and even hallucinations. How is a Sleep Disorder Diagnosed? Boston SleepCare offers in-house sleep studies that monitor your movements and breathing patterns while you sleep. During your study, you get to sleep in a comfortable space, reminiscent of an elegant hotel. You can wind down by reading or watching television before you fall asleep. A sleep technician stays in a nearby room to monitor and record vital information about your sleep. You may also benefit from a home sleep study, which uses a portable monitoring device to record your sleep activity from the comfort of your own bed. A home study is best for those age 30-50 who want to improve sleep and enjoy optimal health. Your provider discusses your results of either study at a follow-up visit and can determine the best course of treatment for your needs. Schedule a sleep study consultation today online or by phone.
