Beauty sleep is important to your health Great sleep affects beauty

Sleep affects beauty. For quite some time, science has measured that “deep, tired look” of patients who suffer with sleep disturbances.

Studies show that patients who resolve their sleep issues often enjoy scientifically-measured improvements in their facial skin. Less redness and forehead puffiness are just two of the noticeable and measurable improvements that can result with improved sleep.

In addition, observers who viewed photos of sleep apnea patients after successful treatment often cited these patients as being more attractive, youthful and alert.

Many studies reveal that only about 50% of patients are using their prescribed CPAP treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. Luckily, many of these CPAP patients who we now treat with Oral Appliance Therapy are enjoying overall improvements in their sleep. After successful treatment, many times we see improvements which may include:

• less dreary eyes
• less puffiness around the eyes
• less redness around the nose
• less visible strap lines (from attempted CPAP use)
• much less ’grumpiness’ factor

If you are not getting good quality and quantity of sleep, it’s important to review possible reasons. Many sleep disorders have profound implications on heart disease, diabetes, weight gain and more. A lack of sleep affects “beauty” inside and out.

Important! Snoring is a health risk!

Snoring is a health risk! Are you embarrassed or annoyed by your own snoring or someone else’s snoring? Do you snicker when people talk about snoring? It is no laughing matter! People who snore may have a medical condition called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Severe OSA patients have a 40% greater chance of dying earlier than their peers. It’s time to do something about it!

Here are 11 health risks linked to snoring and apnea.

• Stroke – The intensity of snoring and apnea can lead to risk of carotid atherosclerosis.
• Heart disease – We know apnea is linked to cardiovascular problems such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and possible heart attacks.
• Arrhythmias – Long term snoring can develop irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia.
• Gerd – Throat closure during apnea causes pressure changes that can suck the contents of the stomach back up into the esophagus.
• Injury – Sleep deprivation can cause driving accidents.
• Mental – Sometimes just crankiness is witnessed, but all too often so is depression and anxiety.
• Headaches – Habitual snorers are likely to have morning headaches.
• Nocturia – Bathroom breaks two or more times during the night is called nocturia.
• Less satisfaction – Men who snore loudly and have OSA have higher levels of impotence.
• Fetal complications – Pregnant women who snore can have an increased risk of fetal complications.
• Excess weight – Half of overweight people have sleep apnea.
