How To Recover Lost Sleep

With everything the world can offer right now, what most people are longing for the most is sleep. Millions are losing sleep each day (or night, rather) because of conditions like sleep apnea or maybe by their own choice. Unhealthy lifestyle, poor diet, lack of exercise, preoccupation with gadgets, etc. are just some of the reasons why a lot of people are wide awake when they should be fast asleep already. But the damage has been done. You are already doing your body a lot of harm by neglecting to sleep so that your body can recuperate and recharge in preparation for activities for the next day.

It is worse if you put snoring in the equation because not only does the snorer suffer from breathlessness or their bodies losing sleep or oxygen but their spouses likewise have to endure this annoying habit that also affects their sleep quite negatively. Sleep deprivations lead to daytime sleepiness and mood swings that can easily take your day down the drain and even make you more prone to accidents as you lose focus and attention from the lack of sleep. The snorers, on the other hand, can experience a thickening of their arteries making blood circulation even more difficult. If this goes on for a long time, your health is compromised and your lifetime shortened too.

So, just like other maladies, the scale and management of the problem are wholly dependant on the exact cause.

“The first step to tackling snoring is to capture some sound bites. You can do this by downloading a recording app, which will provide you with excellent collateral evidence of snoring, as well as sleep quality and duration,” says McKenna.

However, it may be that some heavy, regular snorers have sleep apnoea, a condition where the airways become completely blocked during sleep; symptoms include large pauses in breathing, and waking-up gasping for air. Regardless of whether it’s snoring or sleep apnoea, the first step is visiting your GP, says McKenna.

  1. Try different sleep positions

Sleeping flat on your back is considered the worst position for snoring. This is because the base of your tongue relaxes onto the back wall of your throat, causing extra vibration during your sleep, increasing snoring. So if you find yourself snoring loads, try and lie on your side and see if it helps

  1. Change your pillows

Allergens can gather in your bedding (something which washing your pillowcases just won’t clear up), which in turn can contribute to issues such as snoring. The simple solution is to invest in some new pillows, like a Silentnight Anti-Snore Pillow (£14.99), which supports the head and neck to encourage better breathing and reduce snoring.
