Poor sleep linked to twice the risk of heart attack, up to four times the risk of stroke.

"Sleep is not a trivial issue. In our study it was associated with double the risk of a heart attack and up to four times the risk of stroke.

Poor sleep should be considered a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease along with smoking, lack of exercise and poor diet. Guidelines should add sleep as a risk factor to recommendations for preventing cardiovascular disease."

Sleep Apnea (AP-ne-ah) is a common disorder. Patients often experience shallow breaths or pauses in breathing throughout the night mixed with normal breathing. Bed partners often complain of snoring or choking sounds.

Interrupted sleep or inability to fall asleep can drastically reduce your daytime alertness, making it difficult to complete tasks with your usual efficiency. Over time, inadequate sleep can have a negative impact on your health and your relationships.

Call to speak with a sleep specialist TODAY. Poor sleep doesn't have to be tolerated, it can be fixed!

Central sleep apnea, which is much less common, occurs when your brain fails to transmit signals to your breathing muscles. You may awaken with shortness of breath or have a difficult time getting to sleep or staying asleep. Like with obstructive sleep apnea, snoring and daytime sleepiness can occur. The most common cause of central sleep apnea is heart failure and, less commonly, a stroke. People with central sleep apnea may be more likely to remember awakening than are people with obstructive sleep apnea.

A new review of 27 studies shows that alcohol does not improve sleep quality. According to the findings, alcohol allows healthy people to fall asleep quicker and get deeper sleep but only temporarily.
