Sleep Net
It is estimated that approximately 18 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea. It is a condition that is characterized by disturbed sleep patterns throughout the night due to the cessation of breathing. These periods of cessation of breathing can last for a few seconds and up to 20 to 30 seconds at a time. In fact, it is not unusual to see these episodes occur 20 to 30 times a night!
People affected by sleep apnea have sleeping patterns that are constantly interrupted moving from a stage of deep sleep to consciousness as their breathing patterns either stop or become shallow. Depending on the severity of your condition, it is fairly random ranging from a couple times a week to nightly episodes. Many apnea sufferers' spouses report that after a apnea episode the person makes loud choking sounds or snort and those returns to normal sleep.
As a result, the people affected by sleep apnea do not get a proper amount of sleep and report excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability, and the inability to concentrate. In fact, these symptoms can seriously impair driving ability leading to excessive car accidents.
Unfortunately, this condition does not cure itself over time and actually gets worse leading to more serious health issues. Most apnea affected people never know they have a problem because they have no memory of what took place while they were sleeping. The result of which is that only 10% of sleep apnea cases ever get diagnosed. The reality is that most people learn about their problem from their spouse, bed partner or roommates.
It is important to note that more than half of the people afflicted with sleep apnea are overweight and the condition is more prevalent in men that women. Additionally, race also appears to be a factor. Hispanics, African Americans, Native Alaskans, and Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders seem to be more prone to its affects than Caucasian and Asian races.
There are primarily two types of sleep apnea, the most common being obstructive sleep apnea (80% of the cases or more). This condition is characterized by the closing or collapsing of the airways during sleep. This subsequently leads to a reduction of oxygen entering into the lungs. As one can imagine, lack of oxygen over a long term period can have serious side effects to the body such as increased blood pressure, heart enlargement (Cor Pulmonale) and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). This condition is often associated with loud snoring caused by air squeezing past the airway blockage. Obstructive Sleep Apnea often manifests itself in overweight people, due to the excess body mass applied to the airways... but, it can affect anyone.
The second most prevalent form is Central Sleep Apnea. Although it is much less common, it is caused by neurological problems in the brain. In essence, signals sent from the brain to the mouth that control muscles of the airway are interpreted incorrectly causing abnormal breathing patterns to occur.
The most popular form of treating sleep apnea is through the use of CPAP Equipment or Continuous Positive Pressure devices (CPAP). CPAP Therapy involves the placement of an apnea mask over the person's nose or mouth (or both) that receives air pressure from a CPAP machine that in turn opens up the blocked airway. There are other options that exist than CPAP Equipment Therapy, such as surgery or dental devices.
In the event you feel that you may be suffering from sleep apnea it is a good idea to contact your Doctor immediately. He or she will be able to explain your options in more detail, but, be comforted in knowing that proactive apnea treatment has been very popular over the past 20 years and CPAP Equipment therapy has been proven to be 100% successful when used correctly.

Why cant i sleep since getting on the net don't eat much either help?
I get about 2or 3 hours kip and wake thinking about who to visit ive not been out for a week , will this behaviour stop eventually ???
agreed. It's simply the novelty of it all. There's a wealth of information available to you now. Coupled with the oppertunity to form realtionships without the actual strains and responsibilities of real world relationships. (of all types by the way)
Eventually you'll come to realise that the net is simply another way for us to gather information, make contact with those with similar ideals to ourselves and to keep in contact with those who mean most to us.
It's easy to get seduced by it's annonimity, we've all been there to one degree or another, but it honestly does wear off and loose its appeal.
