What Is Sleep Apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most commonly diagnosed of all sleep disorders. During sleep, a sufferer will experience a cessation of breathing upwards of ten seconds, resulting in depleted oxygen saturation levels, increased pressure on the cardiovascular system, irritated nose and throat, nighttime arousals and fragmented sleep. Therefore, treatment is necessary if you want to avoid further health complications that arise from ongoing untreated sleep apnea.

Those who suffer from this disorder tend to report problems such as:

• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Fatigue
• Irritability
• Decreased mental alertness
• Forgetfulness

In addition, sleep apnea treatment is linked to long-term health issues such as heart conditions, hypertensive risk, type 2 diabetes, obesity, certain types of cancers and psychological issues like depression and anxiety.

Many patients suffer for years, sometimes decades, before they realize that they may have an underlying sleep disorder. This is because sleep apnea symptoms can mistakenly be linked to other conditions. In fact, spouses are often the first to report that their partner exhibits sleep apnea symptoms.

The ARES Unicorder Level Three Sleep Study device records:

• Oxygen Saturation
• Airflow
• Pulse Rate
• Snoring
• Head Position and Movement
• Sleep Wake Cycle
• REM/NON REM Sleep Stages

Level 3 sleep studies provide your doctor with an accurate measurement on the Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI) and Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI). These indices are used to determine the severity of sleep apnea someone might suffer from.
