Send us a textSleep apnea is a common yet serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly  stops and during sleep. This condition can lead to fragmented sleep and low blood oxygen levels, causing daytime fatigue and other health issues. But did you know that light exposure plays a crucial role in managing sleep? Today, we'll uncover how light influences our sleep patterns and how it can help—or hinder—our sleep. Circadian rhythms are physical and mental processes that fluctuate across each daily 24-hour cycle. The 24-hour circadian rhythm is important because it helps us be alert during the day and ready for sleep at night. It also influences our digestive systems, hormones, and even body temperatures. During this rhythm,  the brain releases specific hormones based on the signals our brain receives  due to temperature and sleep environment ,and even light. Not everyone’s circadian rhythm is the same. For people who are “night owls,” a normal daily rhythm involves staying up at night and sleeping late in the morning. Other people fall asleep soon after dark and are up with the sun. These people are known as “early birds” or “larks.” Variations in circadian rhythms are referred to as chronotypes. Research suggests that chronotypes are likely based on factors like age, genetics, daily light exposure. If you’re interested in learning your chronotype, you can take a quiz and find out how chronotype affects your sleep-wake cycle. Take the Original Chronotype Quiz (sleepdoctor.com) I just found out my chronotype is a lion- maybe you are too- or maybe you are a dolphin or  a bear. Altered rhythm and signals can  cause changes to your metabolism and sleep quality An affected circadian rhythm could also lead to sleep disorder.Morning light exposure, turning off electronic devices 1 hour before bed, a cool and dark room, comfortable bedding and regular sleep schedules can help maintain healthy sleep and a healthy circadian rhythm.  Support the showMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/the-anthemLicense code: SSRYVZTXKZ9U33WQ

Others with sleep apnea can’t fall asleep and some sleep soundly and the symptoms may be un noticeable; for some, symptoms manifest as snoring, gasping, restless sleep or teeth grinding. Sleep apnea is a condition characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep, leading to frequent arousals, fragmented sleep and poor sleep quality. Sleep apnea is a disorder where the airway becomes blocked repeatedly during sleep, reducing or completely stopping airflow.  A simple at home sleep test can determine if you have sleep apnea or not and if you do, it can distinguish which type you have. Sleep apnea affects about 18 million Americans, with obstructive sleep apnea being the most common type. it can occur in anyone, including children. And may times the root cause is growth, development, genetics and lifestyle, age and weight can add additional contributing factors- putting some at a higher risk.  One of the most well-documented connections is with depression. People with sleep apnea are over 3 times more likely to have depression than those with healthy breathing. People with sleep apnea are 2.75 times more likely to have suicidal thoughts that those without sleep apnea. Bipolar disorder is another documented link caused when people stop breathing at night during sleep apnea events. Anxiety is another common issue. People with sleep apnea are nearly 4 times more likely to have anxiety. There's also evidence suggesting that untreated sleep apnea can lead to cognitive decline and increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Other mental disorders associated with sleep disorders are stress, Attention deficit disorder, or ADHD and schizophrenia. We well be exploring those more closely with experts in future podcast episodes.  Sleep apnea is the lack of oxygen to the body’s vital organs, especially the heart and the brain. This lack of oxygen increases the risk of mental health issues and the makeup of the brain matter.The lack of oxygenated blood to the brain causes changes in the blood vessels and poor blood supply to the brain. This can cause neural death or impairment of the white matter of the brain. It is also important to point out that when blood oxygen saturation drops, there is an increase in carbon dioxide levels, blood pressure increases, and the heart rate rises. All of these changes lead to inflammation in the body and brain and activation of stress hormones that effect metabolism and raise blood pressure even more.  If you find out you have sleep apnea, it is urgent that you seek treatment. Treating sleep apnea has evolved and there are many options available, including sleep coaching, myofunctional therapy and oral appliances.  Many patients report feeling more alert, less anxious, and overall happier once their sleep apnea is managed. May is Mental Health Awareness Month: If you suspect you have sleep apnea, it's important to seek medical advice. An at-home sleep study can detect the condition, and from there, you can explore treatment options. Addressing sleep apnea can improve not just your sleep, but your overall mental and physical health. And if you're experiencing mental health challenges, don't hesitate to reach out to a mental health professional. Treating both aspects can lead to a much better quality of life.Support the showMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/the-anthemLicense code: SSRYVZTXKZ9U33WQ
