In milder cases, weight loss can help to alleviate some symptoms of sleep apnea and there are surgical alternatives for the most severe cases. These methods can help to reduce symptoms, but they are not guaranteed cures and can take time or be very invasive. Your sleep can’t wait. Clinicians recommend PAP therapy as it provides immediate relief to the symptoms of sleep apnea allowing you to address other health concerns that may be affecting your lifestyle.

FAQ

How much sleep do I need?

Adults require 8 hours of sleep on average to support their physical and mental health every night. While the time spent sleeping is very important, the quality of your sleep also plays a large and often forgotten role in your sleep quality.

What are the stages of sleep?

There are total of 4 sleep stages which includes NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep stages 1, 2, and 3, and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep stage 4. During sleep, your body cycles through the 4 sleep stages several times with varying durations.

Which sleep stages are important?

All sleep stages are important, however; certain stages of sleep are more responsible for refreshing your body and mind than others. These sleep stages are deep sleep (NREM stage 3) and REM sleep.

In deep sleep, your body repairs itself and tissue, muscles, and bone are regrown or built. In REM sleep, parts of the brain that are responsible for learning and long-term memory recollection are stimulated which also results in dreaming.

What kind of diseases can sleep help prevent?

Quality sleep can help prevent diseases such as Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, strokes, obesity, and depression.

Do you carry products for any of the other sleep disorders?

While we carry an assortment of products to improve and monitor your general sleep quality, airessential.ca currently specializes in the treatment of sleep apnea.

I only have a few of the symptoms from the sleep quiz, do I have sleep apnea?

You could have sleep apnea, or you may have similar, but unrelated symptoms of another sleep disorder. You could also have mild symptoms that don’t require any immediate treatment. A home sleep test will reveal how severe your symptoms are and if further treatment is recommended to manage them.

Do I need PAP therapy if I have sleep apnea?

PAP therapy is strongly recommended depending on how severe your sleep apnea symptoms are. The airway obstructions and partial obstructions that cause sleep apnea lower sleep quality and prevent deep, regenerative rest.

PAP (Positive Airway Pressure) therapy uses equipment capable of delivering a constant pressure stream to the upper respiratory tract, supporting your airway while you sleep and promoting healthier breathing.
