Are you one of the 50 million Americans whose quality of life suffers due to sleeping poorly?
- Do you wake up tired?
- Do you fall asleep—or have a hard time staying awake—during the day?
- Do you wake up with headaches?
- Does your spouse complain that you snore?
These are just some of the symptoms of a possible sleep disorder. If untreated, poor sleep can equate to decreased physical, emotional and mental health. Quality sleep provides more benefits than just rest and recovery. Sleep directly correlates to learning and memory as well as plays a vital role in the normal activity of the immune and endocrine systems.
Possible effects of sleep deprivation include:
- Memory Loss
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Heart Disease
- Depression
- Attention Deficit Disorder
- Stroke
No one should have frequent problems getting a good night’s rest. Tell your primary care provider about your symptoms and ask if a sleep study might provide the answers you need. If you don’t have a primary care provider at Winona Health, call and ask to schedule an appointment.
Sleep Advisor Services
If you learn you have sleep apnea, the most common diagnosis for sleep disorders, your primary care provider may recommend sleep therapy. Effective sleep therapy can vastly improve your quality of life.
With a sleep apnea diagnosis, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is usually recommended.
A key aspect of successful CPAP therapy is a comfortable fitting mask and proper use of CPAP equipment and accessories. If your CPAP mask is not properly fitted and you are not comfortable with the device, therapy will not be effective.
Winona Health’s Sleep Advisor Services are available at no extra charge and are designed to help ensure you have a smooth transition into CPAP therapy—so you can begin enjoying the many health benefits of a better night’s sleep.
Whether it is being available for questions after therapy begins or helping you find a new mask, your sleep advisor is your biggest advocate to ensure you experience all the health benefits of sleep therapy.
