Sleep apnea is a common problem that affects the way you breathe while we sleep. The most common form, known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), occurs when the soft tissue in the back of your throat relaxes during sleep and blocks the airway. This interrupts breathing, and although the interruptions are usually brief, it can happen hundreds of time a night. It can jolt the sleeper out of natural sleep rhythms or wake them up multiple times. A person who suffers from sleep apnea will spend more time in light sleep and less time in the deep restorative sleep they need to be energetic, mentally sharp and productive the next day. Chronic sleep deprivation results in slow reflexes, poor concentration and an increased risk of accidents. It can also lead to serious health problems over time, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and weight gain.

If you have OSA you may be completely unaware of it because you probably won’t remember these awakenings. If you snore ask your bed partner to give you feedback on the sound of your breathing. Occasional light snoring does not necessarily mean you have sleep apnea, but if pauses occur while you snore, and if choking or gasping follow the pauses, these are major signs that you have OSA. If you sleep alone try recording yourself while you sleep.

Sleep Apnea has many health consequences!

The health consequences of sleep apnea are reason enough to seek treatment Relationship problems that can also arise from lost sleep when you are a snorer or sleep with someone who is. Whether you have sleep apnea or attempt to sleep with someone who does, I have good news. Now there is a laser treatment that can tighten the tissue inside the mouth to open the airways.

Nightlase® therapy is a non-invasive patient-friendly laser treatment that reduces the effects of sleep apnea and decreases the amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle, safe, laser-induced penetration of heat to the oral mucosa tissue. To understand how it works visualize what happens to hamburger when you put it on the barbecue. It shrinks. In the case of Nightlase, the heat is gentle enough to be used on the sensitive tissue inside the mouth but strong enough to provide efficacious heating. It does not hurt!

A full course of NightLase consists of three separate treatment sessions over a six week period. The final results of the treatment have been shown to last up to a year, and the therapy can be repeated. NightLase takes only 15 minutes to deliver and it is a highly comfortable and satisfying solution that has been clinically proven to eliminate or reduce snoring.

If you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea NightLase will help you stay asleep and wake energized in the morning. If you sleep with a snorer you can finally enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep.
