When you say “serious,” what exactly is “serious” about sleeping problems?
Sleep problems are associated with many serious medical conditions, such as:
- Heart Disease / Stroke / High Blood Pressure
- Diabetes / Insulin Resistance / Glucose Intolerance
- Acid Reflux / GERD
- Attention and Learning Difficulties / ADHD / Loss of Memory
- Mental Health Issues / Anxiety / Depression
- Erectile Dysfunction / Loss of Libido
- and other conditions, including, Cancer, COPD, allergies, and weight gain.
If your sleep is interrupted because of snoring (partial blockages) of the airway or obstructive sleep apnea (full blockages), your body will feel sluggish at best and very dysfunctional at its worst state.
The results of my Sleep Quiz say that I am at “Risk,” but I don’t think I have a problem.
It is common for us to be unaware of the difficulties that we face while we sleep. Remember that our bodies are in a state of hypnosis while we sleep, a trance-like state, where the majority of our body is immobile.
Therefore, we may not be aware of how loud we snore or if we snore at all. We might not even realize if we stop breathing intermittently throughout our sleep time.
That is why the Sleep Quiz that your dentist gave you asks questions that can indicate with a high degree of certainty that you may have a sleep problem.
Completing a home sleep test is the only way to confirm if you may have a sleep problem that needs to be treated immediately.
