Sleep apnea syndrome is the phantom that disrupts the lives of millions of unsuspecting victims. Their sleep is repeatedly disturbed by snoring, by choking halts in breathing, & by gasping efforts to breathe. Their struggle to breathe during sleep is a major cause of daytime sleepiness, accidents, poor health, lost years of productivity & happiness, & even death. This handbook by a doctor & a patient guides people with sleep apnea & their families to take advantage of dramatically effective medical treatment. They explain the meaning of snoring & the mechanics of sleep apnea as well as how to recognize it, obtain a diagnosis, treat it, & overcome social, physical or emotional obstacles to recovery.

Author Rob Simon has been on a quest: How do I stop snoring and save my marriage? Thanks to the author's diligence, humor, and-in no small part-the willingness of his mate to hold onto hope, millions of snorers and snorees may find their own solution to snoring, one of the most widely deliberated about and challenging conditions around the world. Snore No More! is no first-person account. Rather it's a well-researched book written by a man-men are twice as likely to snore as women-who knows the trials and tribulations of snoring and leaves no topic unturned in his hunt for answers. The result is an entertaining, humorous, and very informative book that covers everything from how to say snore in many of the world's languages to the effects of diet on snoring. Other topics include snoring surgeries (several of which the author has undergone), effects of sleep loss on snorees, and even dealing with pet snoring. Snore No More! is destined to become a must-have book for anyone who snores or lives with a snorer. The book's insights, suggestions, and documentation alone make it a valuable reference-one that just might keep snorers up all night reading.

People with severe sleep apnea may struggle for breath all through the night, not breathing for as long as ninety seconds at a time during their sleep. This syndrome, which affects at least four percent of men and two percent of women, can cause daytime fatigue, traffic and work accidents, deteriorating cognitive abilities, and cardiovascular problems. Yet until now there has been no accessible discussion of the history, physiology, and risk factors of sleep apnea. In this book Peretz Lavie, an expert in sleep research, tells the complete story of sleep apnea for the first time. The book provides: • an explanation of the symptoms of sleep apnea, including the most important one, snoring; • an up-to-date description of the risk factors; • a clear explanation why sleep apnea causes cardiovascular problems; • a discussion of children’s breathing disorders in sleep; • advice on how to get a consultation and diagnosis; • evaluations of the treatments currently available; • practical recommendations on how to live with the syndrome; • interviews with the key figures in sleep apnea research; • and more.

Thirty-two days underground. No heat. No sunlight. 4 June 1938. Nathaniel Kleitman and his research student make their way down the seventy-one steps leading to the mouth of Mammoth Cave. They are about to embark on one of the most intrepid and bizarre experiments in medical history, one which will change our understanding of sleep forever. Undisturbed by natural light, they will investigate what happens when you overturn one of the fundamental rhythms of the human body. Together, they enter the darkness. When Kleitman first arrived in New York, a penniless twenty-year-old refugee, few would have guessed that in just a few decades he would revolutionise the field of sleep science. In Mapping the Darkness, Kenneth Miller weaves science and history to tell the story of the outsider scientists who took sleep science from the fringes to a mainstream obsession. Reliving the spectacular experiments, technological innovation, imaginative leaps and single-minded commitment of these early pioneers, Miller provides a tantalising glimpse into the most mysterious third of our lives.

A narcoleptic's tireless journey through the neuroscience of disordered sleep Whether it's a bout of bad jet lag or a stress-induced all-nighter, we've all suffered from nights that left us feeling less than well-rested. But for some people, getting a bad night's sleep isn't just an inconvenience: it's a nightmare. In Sleepyhead, science writer Henry Nicholls uses his own experience with chronic narcolepsy as a gateway to better understanding the cryptic, curious, and relatively uncharted world of sleep disorders. We meet insomniacs who can't get any sleep, narcoleptics who can't control when they sleep, and sleep apnea victims who nearly suffocate in their sleep. We learn the underlying difference between morning larks and night owls; why our sleeping habits shift as we grow older; and the evolutionary significance of REM sleep and dreaming. Charming, eye-opening, and deeply humanizing, Sleepyhead will help us all uncover the secrets of a good night's sleep.
