Happy October! Or should we say “happy pumpkin-spice season”? ☕🍂

Many of the spices you associate with autumn drinks are actually good for helping you “fall” asleep. 😉 While we wouldn’t recommend having a PSL before bed, warming up a cup of milk with cinnamon and nutmeg will have you feeling warm and cozy in no time! ☺️

We’re so glad to hear that, Pamela! That’s the beauty of an oral sleep appliance. 😊

Scrolling on your phone right before bed reallyyyy isn’t the best for your sleep routine, but we get it. Sometimes it’s really hard to slow your brain down and relax. 🤯

Instead of staring at a blue light for hours on end, why not try a bit of light reading? 📖 Emphasis on “light.” Turning a physical page can be just as stimulating as a screen if the only thing you can think about is finding out what happened next! ☠️

Look for something that’s cozy and low-stakes, and, most importantly, put the book down once you do start to feel sleepy. 😉

Sleep talking can be one of the more amusing side effects of sleep apnea, but what actually causes it? Does anyone know?🤨

As it turns out, we do! ☝️🤓 There might be more causes than you’d expect, so buckle up and get ready for this laundry list:

• REM – Your brain is actually really active during the deepest stage of sleep. It’s so active that sometimes, unusual motor commands “leak through.”
• Sleep deprivation – At the same time, not getting enough rest increases the odds of sleep talking by, ironically, making you enter REM sleep more often.
• Alcohol – It alters brain chemistry and disrupts sleep patterns; the perfect recipe for sleep talking.
• Medical conditions – Like narcolepsy, Parkinson’s, and of course, sleep apnea.
• Age – Children are more likely to talk in their sleep than adults.
• Mental health conditions – Such as anxiety and depression.
• Certain medications – Like antidepressants and sedatives.
• Environmental factors – Basically, things that can interrupt your rest, like stress, jet lag, and loud noises.

Figuring out what’s causing your sleep talking is all about narrowing down the possibilities, so don’t hesitate to schedule a sleep test at SleepMed Solutions!😌✨

If you’re not quite sure whether you have sleep apnea or not, there’s a simple device that can help you figure it out – and you might even have it on you right now! ⌚ Apple Watches can detect breathing disturbances while you sleep, and many doctors use the information it records for diagnostic purposes. ☝️🤓

Of course, you’ll have to have the right settings selected in order for this to work. Here’s how you do it:

• Go to the Health app on your iPhone
• Select “browse”
• Tap on the “Respiratory” option
• Press “Sleep Apnea Notifications” and “Set Up”
• Follow the on-screen prompts

After wearing your watch to bed for about 10 nights, you should have a chart that shows you how your breathing is impacted during sleep. 🤗 And voila! You’re one-step closer to a diagnosis and solution. 😁

Exercise can help you feel ready to tackle the day ahead 💪😁 – or, if you’re strategic, it can help you wind down for a good night’s sleep! 😪

🧘 Yoga is particularly good for helping your body feel relaxed and sleepy. Plus, it can encourage flexibility and reduce muscle tension. 😌✨ If you’re interested in adding some yoga poses to your bedtime routine, Child’s Pose, Co**se Pose, and Cat-Cow are good ones to start with. 👍 You can also surf through YouTube to find more structured, targeted guidance.😊

Remember, stress affects you physically, too, so it’s important to take some time to check in on your body. ☝️😌

There’s something to be said about creating the perfect environment for sleep. 😌✨ Room temperature, blanket weight, and lighting are all obvious things to consider, but what about the way your room smells?🤔

Certain scents are actually scientifically proven to have a calming effect. ☝️🤓

If something about your sleep space is bothering you and you can’t quite put your finger on it, treat yourself like the queen (and/or king) you are! 💅 Jazz up your room by diffusing lavender oil or using a cedarwood wall plug. We also highly recommend bergamot.😌👌

Have you ever been told to count sheep to help you fall asleep? It turns out this old wives tale is a complete bust! ☠️

Researchers have found that counting sheep actually keeps your brain active – which isn’t helpful if you’re already having trouble with insomnia. 😑 Instead of trying to keep track of a hundred imaginary animals, you should envision some relaxing scenery, like a gentle brook, quiet meadow, or serene paradise. 😌🌴

And for those of us who already knew assigning yourself math homework couldn’t possibly help you fall asleep… VINDICATION

In the spirit of keeping things light this month, we wanted to share a hilarious sleep apnea meme with you all. We’re not saying aesthetics should be your number one reason to try an oral sleep appliance…we’re just saying it could definitely be a nice perk. 😂 😂

Lack of sleep can certainly increase the amount of stress and anxiety you feel, but this concept goes both ways. Stress can also affect how well you sleep! 🫠 For example:

⭐Racing thoughts can make it harder to fall asleep
⭐Bad dreams and anxiety can interrupt your sleep cycles
⭐Heightened levels of cortisol and adrenaline can make you feel more alert
⭐You might also find yourself waking up earlier than you normally would
⭐Increased caffeine and alcohol sensitivity can keep you up if you normally enjoy a drink before bed

This month, we’ll take things easy and explore ways to manage stress and promote better sleep quality. 😌 Stay tuned for more tips from your favorite sleep center!💪
