At the ”Sleep to Live Institute ” a new research study has recently concluded and it’s results give clear warnings to the sufferers of sleep apnea, “Sleep alone at your own risk!”

Dr. Robert Oexman says sleeping without a partner or roommate results in becoming oblivious to the disorder. Thus, many sleep apnea patients live their lives dealing with lethargy, high blood pressure and lack of focus during daytime, not knowing the root cause of these health issues.

According to research outcomes, there are almost 50 to 70 million people in the US who chronically suffer from sleeping disorders, their most noticeable symptom being loud snoring and waking up gasping for breath in the middle of the night. Oexman warns that if sleep apnea is left undiagnosed, there are high chances of the disorder being fatal during sleep.

Meanwhile in another study, Director of Insomnia and Sleep Research Program at Duke University School of Medicine, Dr. Andrew Krystal advices apnea patients to invest in a good mattress. If properly matched to a patient’s height and weight, a good mattress can mean the difference between a good night’s sleep and a day of muscular aches.
