Wellness medicine is becoming more and more important in today’s society – with a focus on prevention of disease rather than primarily focusing on treatment only after disease occurs. Yet one of the biggest detriments to overall health and wellbeing is poor quality sleep. A good night’s sleep is crucial for overall health and wellbeing. Snoring has an enormous impact on sleep quality, leading many people to actively seek snoring solutions.
The Importance of Sleep
Sleep is a powerful thing. It allows our bodies to rest, heal, and reserve energy; our minds are enabled to process and consolidate information and memories. Many critical biometric processes occur during sleep.
Habitual snorers and those who suffer from sleep apnea, however, experience broken sleep and disrupted natural sleep cycles (as do their sleep partners), and are at a significantly greater risk of developing a wide range of health problems. These include but are not limited to DNA damage, compromised immunity, cardiovascular disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, depression and anxiety, chronic headache, sexual dysfunction, and weight gain.
Sleep Apnea
More serious than snoring, obstructive sleep apnea is a major health risk. It is a medical condition whereby breathing during sleep is restricted or stops completely. This can occur hundreds of times per night and is much more severe than snoring. It compromises one’s quality of life and can lead to very poor health outcomes and an early demise.
One sleep apnea solution is the CPAP machine. While effective, it has its pros and cons. Many people give up using their CPAP machine due to discomfort, noise, claustrophobia, irritation, and inconvenience. This is why it’s important to explore other options for anti-snoring devices.
The Economical Price of Snoring
Snoring and sleep apnea are not just a personal problem. The NZ economy is struggling under the high costs of diminished health amongst its citizens, and lifestyle diseases including obesity and heart disease, as well as compromised mental health, cause lost productivity, poor focus, and diminished work performance. These are directly affected by poor quality sleep. People who suffer from sleep disorders experience a significant reduction in quality of life and this is reflected in higher rates of work absenteeism, reduced productivity, and poor work performance. Additionally, disrupted sleep causes higher rates of workplace error, illness, and injury. This equates to more time lost and money spent by workplaces due to sick leave, and ultimately greater costs to the NZ economy.
