How did you sleep last night?
Sleep is a wonderful thing. Many things can interrupt our sleep including, but not limited to, Snoring, Sleep Apnea, TMJ Headache, Facial Pain, Migraine.
Do you know anyone (maybe even you) who says, “I slept for 10 hours last night, but I can hardly hold up my head.”? This person most likely suffers from a sleep disorder.
There are 4 stages of sleep: N1, N2, N3, & REM. The purpose of the first 2 stages is to get you to the last 2 stages. This Stages of Sleep link will take you to a page for a more in-depth discussion if you would like more information.
Snoring
Snoring can wake you or your bed partner (arousal), or it can pull you from a deep, productive stage of sleep up to a non-productive level of seep (microarousal). On average, the bed partner of a snorer loses more than one hour of sleep each night.
Sleep Apnea (Obstructive Sleep Apnea)
In an apneic event, the airway is closed off, and the individual cannot get a breath of air. This leads to something similar to a panic attack with a “Fight or Flight” response while the bed partner watches the gagging and gasping for air.
Comorbidities that occur with Sleep Apnea include Obesity, Hypertension, Depression, Reflux, Diabetes, High Cholesterol, and Asthma.
TMJ
While “TMJ” is not a diagnosis for anything, seemingly everyone uses that term. Some have said that 95% of “TMJ” pain is muscular headaches and facial pain resulting from clinching and grinding (bruxing) during the night. The bruxism and resultant pain can create microarousals, as well as full arousals, resulting in sleep loss.
Migraine
The nighttime clenching of a migraineur can result in microarousals to interfere with sleep, as well as cause the individual not to look forward to waking with the pain of migraine.
