Sleep Apnea, a severe sleeping disorder, has recently been found to happen more often in adults than in previous years.
Luckily, even thought adults are suffering from this awful sleeping disorder, it's still a rarity for children to suffer from the nightly disturbing effects of sleep apnea.
There are actually two official categories of sleep apnea depending on the different symptoms and signs that appear.
'Obstructive sleep apnea' is the most common category while the other category is 'central sleep apnea' is less common, but still something to be largely concerned about when it comes to your health.
Recent studies have found that the common disorder of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or OSA, affects a minimum of 2% of adult women.
Men that show signs and symptoms of this disorder are seen in larger numbers at 4% of adult males.
Surprisingly, these numbers are actually low for those men and women that are truly affected by this disorder with the combined results of research and obstructive apnea studies.
OSA causes moderate to severe sleep disruptions night after night.
Another sign of this disorder is the large amount of proper concentration that is lacking during the day.
People who suffer from OSA are three times more likely to be in an automobile accident than those who are able to sleep peacefully and uninterrupted on a constant nightly basis.
Since both categories of apnea stops proper breathing patterns and rhythms during the night, sufferers are twice as likely to have high blood pressure problems prematurely.
This debilitating disorder also shows signs of premature onset of heart disease, strokes, blood clots, and brain aneurysms.
These serious health problems are caused by the lack of oxygen that comes from not being able to breath properly during sleep.
The less commonly known category known as central sleep apnea or CSA is rarer due to other health factors that contribute to the disorder.
It's rare because of the effects of adult and even infant congenital diseases, heart diseases, cerebrovascular diseases that are common in high altitudes or the result of certain medications.
Regardless of the original cause of this disorder, the underlying cause is usually unbalanced carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in the blood.
It is obvious that regardless of the form of sleep apnea, the disorder can take years off a life that is otherwise healthy when the sleep apnea is not treated properly.
For a few sufferers of the more severe issues of sleep apnea, there can be a need for invasive medical surgeries in order to stop this debilitating and even fatal disorder.
However, for many others that are only mild to moderate sufferers, the nightly snoring can be stopped by the many snoring solutions and methods that are out on the market today.
These remedies can give back good night of sleep that means a longer life and better quality of life over all.
Many of these solutions are available over the counter.
