The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea, where airway closes off and periodically during the course of the night you stop breathing... If someone meets those criteria, it's worth getting a sleep study done to make sure they don't have sleep apnea.
Can your sleep habits really affect your mental health? Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle this intriguing question with Dr. Shane Creado, a psychiatrist and sleep medicine expert. They explore how conditions like sleep apnea don't just coexist with mental health issues like depression, ADHD, and PTSD, but might actually cause them. Imagine snoring away at night, only to find out it's linked to your daytime anxiety or mood swings! Dr.
Creado explains how sleep apnea, where your airway closes off during sleep, can lead to serious health problems. Common signs include snoring, morning headaches, dry mouth, high blood pressure, and daytime drowsiness. But here's the kicker: you can't judge the severity of sleep apnea by symptoms alone. That's why Dr. Creado emphasizes the need for a proper sleep study.
The episode dives deep into the relationship between sleep deprivation and psychiatric disorders, revealing how improving sleep can also improve mental health. From discussing weight loss and sleep positions to medication adjustments and restless leg syndrome, they cover various factors that contribute to sleep apnea. Plus, Dr. Creado shares some fascinating insights into the meaning of dreams and their psychological significance. If you've ever wondered how your sleep affects your mental well-being, this episode is a must-listen.
Get ready to rethink your bedtime routine and maybe even book that sleep study you've been putting off.
