Continue reading to learn more about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Sleep Apnea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This disorder, which requires an official diagnosis before treatment, is defined as 5 or more breathing interruptions per hour of sleep. There are three main types, which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA):<\/strong> This is the most commonly diagnosed and occurs when there\u2019s a physical blockage, such as excessive throat tissue or overly relaxed muscles, that blocks your airways, preventing enough oxygen from reaching the lungs, bloodstream, and brain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Central sleep apnea (CSA):<\/strong> This type happens when there\u2019s a miscommunication between your brain and the autonomic processes that regulate your breathing, keeping you from inhaling or exhaling normally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complex sleep apnea:<\/strong> This is a combination of the two previous kinds, though it often begins with OSA and develops into CSA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Weighted Blankets Used For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are filled with tiny beads, pellets, or discs, that can add between 5 lbs. and 30 lbs. of extra weight to your blanket. Studies show that when you snuggle up underneath it, these settle into place over your body more snugly than a standard blanket, resulting in \u201cdeep pressure simulation\u201d. &nbsp;This releases feel-good hormones, such as serotonin and dopamine, which counteract stress chemicals like cortisol, which might otherwise keep you awake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These cozy covers also encourage melatonin production, which signals to your body when it\u2019s time to wind down and drift off. As a result, many people who struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep use weighted blankets to help their bodies relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Weighted Blankets Affect Sleep Apnea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anything that helps improve your sleep can potentially reduce the severity of symptoms associated with your nighttime disorder. However, if you have moderate to severe sleep apnea that has gone untreated, this might not be recommended because it can add enough weight to your chest that your breathing is restricted further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re considering a weighted blanket because you suspect you have sleep apnea, it\u2019s worth contacting your dentist to learn whether they offer sleep evaluations and treatment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients at Palm Dental Professionals benefit from a husband-and-wife dental team passionate about helping treat oral issues to improve their daily lives. Dr. Christopher Rodriguez, an accomplished general dentist, collaborates with his wife, Dr. Kaitlin Rodriguez, a board-certified pediatric dentist, to deliver a comprehensive menu of services, including oral appliances for sleep apnea, conveniently under one roof.
