In addition to talking to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleeprehab.com\/about-us.html\">sleep dentist<\/a> to see what\ntreatments are available, you should also take the time to think about changes\nyou can make at home to improve the quality of your rest \u2013 which can potentially\nmean making sure the temperature in your bedroom is just right. Here\u2019s a quick\nlook at the impact temperature can have on sleep apnea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Exactly Is Sleep Apnea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having sleep apnea means that your breathing is repeatedly\nstopping and restarting while you\u2019re asleep. In most cases, this disorder is the\nresult of the airway becoming blocked by tissues in your throat. Each pause\nforces your body to wake up briefly in an effort to get some air, thus pulling\nyou out of the sleep cycle. Untreated sleep apnea can leave you feeling exhausted\nduring the day, and it can ultimately lead to dire health consequences like an\nincreased risk for heart problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can Temperature Make Sleep Apnea Worse?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are already having trouble getting enough rest due to\nsleep apnea, high temperatures can exacerbate the problem. The body\u2019s\ntemperature naturally goes down whenever you go to sleep. However, maintaining\nthe right sleeping temperature is more difficult if your bedroom is too hot.\nConsequently, you will be more likely to wake up prematurely, which is an\nespecially serious issue if sleep apnea is already frequently interrupting your\nslumber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can You Do to Keep Your Sleep Apnea Under Control?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think the temperature in your bedroom is making your\nsleep apnea worse, the obvious thing to do is adjust it before you go to bed.\nExperts say that the right temperature for sleep is in the range of 60 to 67\ndegrees Fahrenheit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During particularly hot times of the year, it may be worth\ntaking additional measures to help your body stay cool while you\u2019re asleep. One\npossible step you can take is putting a fan next to your bed. You might also\nwant to think about taking off the comforter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure what changes you should be making at home\nto manage your sleep apnea, remember that you can always talk to your sleep\ndentist. They can give you advice on the steps you should take to keep your\nsleep interruptions to a minimum. Just be sure to act quickly; it\u2019s important\nto get your sleep apnea under control as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Keane Fedosky went to the Baylor College of Dentistry, eventually graduating in 1991.
