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.

In need of quiet and quality sleep?

In all the years of treating snoring patients, it amazes me to see how many snoring husbands do not deal with snoring and get their snoring “under control” for their wives and vice versa. These individuals usually say that they are sleeping very well and don’t need to get help. Meanwhile their spouses are struggling with frequent awakenings, elbow jabs and some major sleep deprivation.

A modern day diva realizes that if her husband doesn’t deal with snoring, she doesn’t sleep well. And if she doesn’t sleep well, the whole family suffers. She refuses to “fix” sleeplessness by guiding her husband to the spare bedroom.

Here are a few ways that today’s diva can “quiet” her spouse or seek medical intervention to deal with snoring:

• She might make an appointment for her husband and drag him to a surprise medical destination.
• She may beg her family physician to get her husband to take action.
• She may shove a pillow over her spouse’s head. (We don’t’ recommend this one).
• She may withhold amorous affections.
• She may show him the facts. Snoring is often the sign of a life threatening disorder called sleep apnea, which can greatly increase the risk of strokes, heart attack, impotence and even death!
• She may say, “I love you, and I want you to be safe, healthy and QUIET!”
• She may use a special “split” bed that raises the angle of her husband.
• If all else fails, she may stop cooking for him.

Whatever she decides to do, today’s modern day diva needs good quality sleep to operate at her peak. How will you help your husband deal with snoring?
