Sleep Disorders Overview, Stages of Sleep Overview
Sleep is absolutely essential for normal, healthy function. Scientists and medical professionals do not fully understand this complicated, necessary, physiological phenomenon. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, about 40 million people in the United States suffer from chronic long-term sleep disorders each year and an additional 20 million people suffer occasional sleep problems. There are more than 70 different sleep disorders that are generally classified into one of three categories: In most cases, sleep disorders can be easily managed once they are properly diagnosed. Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder. It occurs more often in women and in the elderly. The amount of sleep that a person needs to function normally depends on several factors (e.g., age). Infants sleep most of the day (about 16 hours); teenagers usually need about 9 hours a day; and adults need an average of 7 to 8 hours a day. Although elderly adults require about as much sleep as young adults, they usually sleep for shorter periods and spend less time in deep stages of sleep. About 50% of adults over the age of 65 have some type of sleep disorder, although it is not clear whether this is a normal part of aging or a result of medications that older people commonly use.

Apnea Update
13 Mar 2008 07:10 am I'm still using my CPAP machine every night. Almost 10,000 hours now. My only problem is that when I sleep, the mask pushes into my right cheek and has formed a small dent in my face. Oh well. Not a big price to pay. A reader writes: Long, LONG time reader here since your early days, but I don't e-mail you much. I'm 28 and I've been dealing with 'not being a morning person' for my entire adult life. I've suspected for years I had sleep apnea (girlfriends telling me how I stop breathing at night, etc) but for whatever psychological reasons, put off going to the doctor. Even after you blogged about it a guy I read multiple times a day - I still didn't find a good reason to go. A month ago, my sleeping became worse and one night in particular I woke up in tears because I just knew I was gasping for air that entire night when sleeping and I couldn't deal with it anymore. I made an appointment with the sleep doctor the next day, slept in the lab, and finally got my results back. 67 episodes an hour. Low blood oxygen. Barely any rem sleep. I've literally been robbed of good sleep my entire adult life. I've been wearing a CPAP machine for the last few days, and I cannot begin to tell you what a difference it makes. I can't get used to the feeling of waking up and actually not wanting to immediately go back to bed.

Apnea, Sleep Apnea, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Sleep Disorder and other Sleep Problems
Apnea, is defined as " . . . the cessation of breathing for 10 or more seconds while asleep . . . " Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(showing a closed upper airway) Obstructive sleep apnea (obstructive sleep apnea) is cause by the closing of the upper airway while asleep. The uvula and soft pallet collapses on the back wall of the upper airway. Then the tongue falls backward, collapsing on the back wall of the upper airway, the uvula and soft pallet forming a tight blockage, preventing any air from entering the lungs. The effort of the diaphragm, the chest and the abdomen only cause the blockage to seal tighter. In order to breathe the person must arouse or awaken, causing tension in the tongue thereby opening the airway, allowing air to pass into the lungs.
(For a view of airway closure due to apnea/hypopnea click here then use your BACK button to return.) Obstructive sleep apnea causes a drop in one's blood oxygen saturation (SaO2) and an increase in the blood's carbon dioxide (CO2). When the SaO2 drops the heart will start pumping more blood with each beat. If the SaO2 continues to drop the heart will start beating faster and faster. As the CO2 increases the brain will try to drive the person to breathe. The effort and action of the abdomen and chest will increase. Eventually that action can become severe enough to cause an arousal, clearing the upper airway blockage, allowing the person to breathe. Then you go back to sleep and it happens all over again.

Sleep Apnea Doubles Car Crash Risk, Study Shows
ScienceDaily (Feb. 20, 2008) See also: Published online in the journal Thorax, the study also found that patients with sleep apnea are three to five times more likely to be in a serious car crash involving personal injury. Using data from the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, researchers studied nearly 1,600 people including patients with and without sleep apnea. "We were startled by the number of crashes, but even more surprised about the severity of the crashes and how many involved personal injury,” said study author Dr. Najib Ayas of the Vancouver Coastal Health Sleep Disorders Program and Associate Professor of Medicine at UBC. “Even those patients with fairly mild sleep apnea had an increased risk of serious crashes.” Previous studies have identified a link between sleep apnea and increased risk for car crashes, but this is the largest study of its kind and the first study to examine the severity of such crashes. Among the general population, men have more car crashes than women. However, men and women with sleep apnea in this study had similar crash rates.

Kids with obstructive sleep apnea don't get a good night's rest, which may cause them to be fidgety and have trouble paying attention the next day.
By By Roni Caryn Rabin Special to msnbc.com When Benjamin Kidd was in pre-K last year, his teachers marveled at how bright, attentive and well-behaved he was — in the morning. Later in the day, Ben was a different child. He was fidgety and he couldn’t focus. He couldn’t sit still for a story. And he burst into tears and temper tantrums at the slightest provocation. After taking him to one specialist after another, his mother, Michelle Kidd, who lives in Hillsborough N.J., finally figured out what the problem was: 5-year-old Ben was exhausted. Doctors who ran an overnight sleep study on him last fall said he was suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, a sleep disorder associated with middle age but not uncommon in preschoolers, where it can lead to behavior easily mistaken for hyperactivity — even though it’s actually caused by fatigue. “You know how it is when you let your kid stay up too late, and they’re bouncing off the walls and don’t listen?” says Kidd, who had consulted physicians at the Somerset Medical Center’s Sleep for Life Center in Hillsborough. “It was a lot of that.”

Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea affects many people. It is a condition where a person stops breathing while sleeping. It can affect anyone of any age, race, ethnicity, or gender. There are three types of sleep apnea: obstructive, central and mixed. The cause of each type is different and determining which type you have is necessary to see what type of treatment you should get. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common form of sleep apnea. It is caused when the airway is physically blocked. This can be due to the soft tissue in the back of your throat collapsing, your tongue falling in the way, excess fatty tissue, you uvula or your tonsils. It can also occur when the throat muscles relax too much. This blockage and the cessation of breathing has an effect on your blood oxygen levels. Most of the time when you stop breathing your body wakes you up and you begin again. Treatment can come from your doctor or a specialist. The majority of people with sleep apnea have this type. Central sleep apnea is less common. It is caused by a neurological disorder rather than something physical as in obstructive sleep apnea. The brain is to blame here as it does not tell your body to breath or when it tells your body to breath the message gets interrupted and never reaches where it is supposed to. This type of sleep apnea has the same effects as obstructive in that it reduced blood oxygen levels. Treating central sleep apnea requires that you see a neurologist. It is very rare for someone to have this form of sleep apnea.

Signs and Symptoms Sleep apnea is a disorder in which your breathing is interrupted for periods of 10 seconds or more while you are asleep. These interruptions may occur hundreds of times a night, causing you to gasp for air and disrupting your sleep. Some common symptoms of sleep apnea include:
  • Restless sleep Loud, heavy snoring often interrupted by silence and gasps Drowsiness or lack of energy, caused by the lack of sleep Headaches in the morning Irritability, forgetfulness, mood or behavior changes Anxiety or depression
There are two main types of sleep apnea:
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea This type of sleep apnea is typically caused by an airway blockage and is more common. It occurs when the muscles in the wall of the throat relax during sleep, causing the walls to collapse and obstruct airflow. Central Sleep Apnea Believed to be related to a malfunction of the brain's normal signal to breathe, with this type of sleep apnea the level of carbon dioxide in the blood rises, which may cause you to wake up.

Even more reason to do so. Remember to breathe!

Apnea of Prematurity
What is apnea?
Apnea means there are times when breathing stops. These are called apnea spells. Babies who are born early, particularly those born more than 7 weeks early (before 32 weeks of pregnancy), often have apnea. A baby with apnea:
  • suddenly stops breathing for more than 10 seconds has a drop in heart rate below 90 beats a minute when the apnea occurs becomes pale or bluish around the mouth and face during an apnea spell starts breathing again by himself or needs help to restart breathing.
Apnea may happen once a day or many times a day. The more immature the baby is, the more frequent the apnea spells are. As the baby matures, he outgrows the apnea. It is normal for babies to have pauses in their heart and breathing rates. The normal heart rate for babies is between 120 and 160 beats a minute. Many babies have brief drops in the heart rate. The drop in heart rate is considered normal if the heart rate returns to normal by itself and there is no breathing pause or change in the baby's skin color when the drop occurs. It is not normal if the baby's heart rate drops below 90 beats a minute and the baby becomes pale or bluish. Babies normally breathe 20 to 60 times a minute and sometimes stop breathing for 10 to 12 seconds. These breathing pauses are considered to be normal if the baby begins breathing again by himself and there is no change in the baby's skin color and no drop in heart rate. Babies may also have a breathing pattern in which they have a breathing pause and then breathe several rapid shallow breaths. This is called periodic breathing and is also considered to be normal. Pauses between breaths that are longer than 15 seconds or pauses that occur with a change in the baby's skin color and a drop in heart rate are not normal.

    People with sleep apnea don’t breathe properly during sleep and as a result, don’t get enough oxygen and have frequent arousals causing poor quality sleep.
    http://www.sleepscene.com/apnea.htm
    Sleep Apnea Warning Symptoms The snoring is so loud it can be heard rooms away, or even by neighbors. A particular pattern of snorring interrupted by pauses, followed by gasps, is a sign that the sleeper intermittantly halts breathing. Some people repeatedly stop breathing while sleeping. Such disturbed sleep can produce profound daytime sleepiness that often disrupts work and personal life. People with apnea fall asleep at inappropriate times such as at work or while driving a vehicle. Recent studies showed that people suffering from sleep apnea were two to five times more likely to have a car accident than those who do not suffer from this disorder.Trouble concentrating, unusual forgetfulness, irritability, anxiety , or depression can be symptoms resulting from sleep apnea. These problems may appear suddenly or may emerge over many years. The person may not notice these symptoms or may minimize their severity. Often family members, employers, or co-workers first recognize a pattern of changes in mood or behavior and encourage a visit to a healthcare provider. Sometimes the individual seeks help for trouble sleeping. People with sleep apnea may notice that they are awakening frequently, gasping for air, and thrashing about in their sleep. They may complain of morning headaches, sore throats, and even a loss of interest in sex.. Men may complain of erectile dysfunction.
