You made the mistake of watching a scary movie right before bed, and then you spend the rest of the night tossing, turning, and waking up repeatedly after a series of bad dreams.
Who hasn’t suffered sleep deprivation because of a little harmless Halloween scare every October?
Being a bit behind on sleep every once in a while won’t leave a lasting impact on your health, but sustained over a period of time, your body and your quality of life will inevitably suffer from lack of rest.
That’s why you should visit your Charlotte dentist if you think sleep apnea is what’s keeping you in a chronic, zombie-like state. We can provide a customized solution that fits in the palm of your hand, doesn’t make a sound, and allows you to get a deep, restful sleep every night.
A Sleep Apnea Episode Can Be Terrifying
Loud snoring is one of the most common signs of sleep apnea, a disorder marked by moments of breathlessness when your airway becomes temporarily blocked while you sleep.
When breathing stops, your body goes into survival mode, you jerk awake suddenly, gasping for air. These episodes are not only terrifying, but because this happens over and over, up to 30 times or more an hour, you never fall into the deep sleep your body needs for optimum health and function.
What’s equally frightening are the health risks associated with this condition, including high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, and heart disease.
Sleep Deprivation Can Make You Feel Like A Zombie
Not only is your health at risk, but your daily life can become pretty miserable, too.
Persistent sleep deprivation can make you feel like a zombie, going through the motions at home and at work under extreme fatigue, irritability, brain fog, and so much more.
Call Us NOW For Help!
Although a CPAP machine is a highly effective treatment option, it’s not for everyone. The mask can be rather uncomfortable, the machine itself can be too noisy, and the inconvenience of keeping it clean can all make it harder for you to use it consistently.
A custom oral device, on the other hand, is quiet, comfortable, and helpful in keeping your airways open while you sleep so you can stop snoring and breathe easily all night long.
Don’t ignore the signs of the nightly terror of sleep apnea! Call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule your appointment in Charlotte, NC. We’ll help guide you toward solutions that work!
