Discover how our at home sleep evaluations can help you understand and transform your sleep experience
For many of us, our current sleep patterns feel normal, but there are numerous factors that influence the quality of our sleep, including stress, hormones, activity level, diet, and emotional health. While chronic pain or life stress might seem like the culprits disrupting our sleep, it's essential to recognize that these factors don't cause breathing interruptions or reduce our oxygen intake during the night. If you're dealing with severe pain or significant stress, a sleep screening could help you to understand and assess wheather your airflow and oxygen levels could be a factor.
At home Sleep Evaluations
the importance of evaluating your sleep
Three common types of sleep experiences:
1. "I'm out like a rock and I sleep great, doctor"
You might describe your sleep as deep and uninterrupted because you fall asleep quickly and don't wake up during the night. However, if your sleep cycles are unstable and your oxygen levels fluctuate, you could be in a light sleep due to fatigue, not truly restful sleep. Consider how refreshed you feel upon waking. If you're still tired, a sleep screening can provide insights into whether your sleep quality is genuinely as good as it seems.
"I wake up to go to the bathroom occasionally, but that's normal for me"
Waking up to use the bathroom might seem normal, but disrupted sleep cycles often cause this nocturnal pattern. Stable deep and REM sleep inhibit urine production and suppress the urge to go. Sleep fragmentation and reduced oxygen levels can lead to these disruptions. If you often wake up with minimal need to urinate, this could indicate decreased oxygen levels rather than hormonal changes. A sleep screening can help determine if oxygen fluctuations might be the cause and if a referral is needed.
3. "I know I have sleep issues because I'm tired in the morning or I feel like I wake up to breathe."
Aging affects our collagen and skin elasticity, reducing our airway space over time. If you're aware of poor sleep quality, you might be experiencing sleep apnea, which increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other related conditions. A sleep screening and subsequent discussion of treatment and referral options could be life-changing.

" We saw a lot of crowding and assumed braces were the only way to go, we had two or three consultations and most of them wanted to pull teeth before braces, my mother bear instinct didn't want that to happen his teeth were healthy there was no reason to pull them out....we didn't need to pull anything! "
