01 Mar Evaluating Your Sleep Health At Home
Your ability to enjoy a full night’s rest is an important factor when it comes to maintaining your health. Both your physical and mental wellness depend on the quality of your sleep. If breathing difficulties or any other problems interfere with your ability to stay at rest, you can experience fatigue, negative mood changes, and complications managing other health conditions. Unfortunately, it is not easy for everyone to look out for the warning signs of sleep apnea and other conditions on their own. If you suspect that something is wrong, our Mansfield, TX treatment office can help! By providing an at-home sleep test, we give you the means to check your nightly rest for potential issues that should be resolved.
You May Have More Trouble Enjoying A Good Night’s Rest Than You Realize
Not everyone has a person to let them know that they snore, stop breathing, toss and turn, or do other things at night that point to disordered sleep. Lacking this information can make it harder to recognize issues with sleep apnea. When issues go untreated, they can alter your mood, lower your energy levels, and make managing other conditions harder. They also make you more vulnerable to hypertension and other health issues.
We Can Help You Check For Potential Sleep Issues At Home
If you begin to worry that sleep apnea or another condition affects you, our practice can help. We can provide a sleep test that you use at home. We can consult with you to see what symptoms you are experiencing. If sleep apnea is suspected, we can order a test that you use while sleeping in your own bed. Capturing and reviewing the information from that test will help us determine next steps in your care.
Treating Nightly Breathing Issues That Disrupt Your Rest
We can provide help so that you breathe comfortably and avoid difficulties with sleep apnea. What may surprise you is that we can do this without the need for a CPAP machine. Instead, we can recommend appliance therapy. A custom oral guard that is designed for your use can correct the position of your jaw so that you are breathing comfortably throughout the night. Its presence stops any shifting from the lower jaw and interference from soft tissues that restrict your breathing passages.
