Finding Restful Nights with Combo Sleep Therapy
Tossing, turning and fatigue may indicate an underlying issue like sleep apnea. Our combination therapy can help restore peaceful sleep. This approach blends oral appliances with lifestyle changes like weight loss or diet. Together, they target different causes of poor sleep.
At Snoring and Sleep Solutions of Nevada, we customize this combo remedy so you can finally get some rest! Read on to learn how it works.
How Sleep Disorders Disrupt Health
Let’s start by looking at how conditions like apnea do more than rob you of sleep:
- They lower oxygen levels, raising risks for strokes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
- They can lead to weight gain, diabetes, and other metabolic issues.
- They increase anxiety, depression, and impairment of brain functions like memory.
- They reduce immunity and energy, hurting relationships and quality of life.
Sleep disorders have many causes. There are physical issues with airways, nerves, and muscles. But habits around diet, activity, and thoughts affect sleep too. With so many factors involved, just treating one often doesn’t fully resolve the problem.
Combination therapy is more effective because it targets different issues together through oral devices, weight control, therapy, or other approaches.
Oral Appliances: Opening Airways
Oral appliances are customized mouthpieces worn at night to relieve anatomical issues and open blocked airways. They gently adjust the jaw, tongue or palate to facilitate breathing.
Benefits of these devices include:
- Increased oxygen and less snoring or apnea events.
- Non-invasive and comfortable fit.
- Portable and convenient for travel.
Our experts at Snoring and Sleep Solutions of Nevada identify the perfect device for your needs after an exam. We also provide follow-ups to ensure proper fit and function. With time, oral appliances train your muscles for lasting improvements.
The limitation is mouthpieces only fix physical problems. Other factors like obesity or anxiety can undermine success. That’s why adding weight loss and other lifestyle changes enhances results.
Weight Control: Boosting Overall Wellbeing
Being overweight harms sleep in a few ways:
- Excess fat around the neck and airways worsens apnea.
- Conditions like diabetes that often accompany obesity also disrupt sleep cycles.
- Stress, depression, and low self-esteem from weight issues cause insomnia.
Losing extra pounds through diet and exercise can reverse these risks. It reduces obstructions in the airway, allowing oral appliances to work better. Weight control also balances hormones, blood sugar, and mental health for more restful nights.
Here at Snoring and Sleep Solutions of Nevada, our compassionate weight loss team provides personalized plans covering:
- Nutrition guidance and meal planning.
- Safe increases in cardio and strength training.
- Stress management and therapy for motivation.
As quality of life improves with sustained weight loss, sleep becomes easier. Combining oral devices with weight control provides more comprehensive relief by treating anatomical and lifestyle factors affecting rest.
