Have you ever been kept awake by someone else's snoring? Or worse, snoring yourself and waking up to the sound of everyone else's protests? Snoring is not just an annoying sound, it can be a sign of a bigger problem: sleep apnea. You may have seen it in people around you. People who snore, then stop breathing for a few seconds, then take a few deep breaths and snore again. This is a serious problem. Now imagine that with just a few minutes of simple exercise a day, you could both reduce snoring and improve the quality of your sleep. No expensive devices or strange lifestyle changes required. Just ten minutes of exercise, that's it!

According to the following study, which is only one sample https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... Nocturia is a common symptom of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and the two conditions are linked in several ways: Prevalence About half of patients with OSAS experience nocturia, which is defined as waking up to urinate two or more times per night. The prevalence of nocturia increases with the severity of OSAS. Causes Nocturia can be caused by increased intra-abdominal pressure, higher secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide, and arousals. Effects The repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep in OSAS can lead to fragmented sleep patterns, hormonal imbalances, and increased sympathetic activity, which can all affect urinary function. Treatment Treating OSAS can improve nocturia. Recognition Primary providers should recognize nocturia as a relevant symptom of OSAS to ensure timely referrals for diagnosis. ------- Attribution: in this video I used for free commercial use vectors and graphics elements by pixabay.com If I used a video or photo within my video it's licensed under creative common (used allowed). ________________________ This video is for general information only and should not be used for self-diagnosis and is not a substitute for diagnosis, examination, treatment and prescription or advice.
