ADVICE

Consistent Wake-Up Time

  • Maintain a consistent wake-up time, even on weekends, to regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.
  • This consistency helps regulate melatonin production, making it easier to fall asleep.
INSIGHT

Sleep Apnea Severity Factors

  • Sleep apnea severity depends on factors like body weight and oxygen desaturation during events, not just the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).
  • A higher body weight can worsen symptoms and increase cardiovascular risks, even with mild sleep apnea.
ADVICE

Recognizing Sleep Apnea

  • If you suspect sleep apnea, consult a bed partner about snoring or stopped breathing and look for signs like morning headaches or daytime sleepiness.
  • Consider using a sleep tracker or app like SnoreLab or consulting a sleep specialist for diagnosis.
