This is a simple (but important) article, but there are so many more important layers to how sleep and sleep apnea affects us. Anyone interested please feel free to get ahold of us anytime :)

What you need to know about how sleep apnea affects your heart Paused breathing during your sleep raises your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke — and it sets the stage for other chronic problems as well.

Really important to note.

How Sleep Apnea Causes Weight Gain, and Vice Versa Having sleep apnea can cause you to gain excess weight, which can in turn worsen your sleep apnea symptoms. Let's discuss how this works:

Great outlet for parents who have any questions :) check it out!

Life changes like bringing home a new baby affect almost every aspect of home life, and sleep is no exception.

We have been getting some early morning visits from our 3 year old these past couple of weeks. He wants to be cuddled right next to mama (and her mountain of pillows) and needs his little hand resting on my face to fall back asleep.

It is hard not to worry about how sleep will look once baby is here. Waking every 2-3 hours with a newborn is inevitable. Managing my expectations around likely regressions with my other children is key to easing my anxiety. Here are some things I am going to put in place to help my older two adjust:

➡️special one on one time (at least 5-15 minutes a day) with each kid to fill their attention bucket
➡️clear, consistent bedtime routine
➡️dad to manage older kids bedtime, mom to manage newborns for first couple of months
➡️create a floor bed in our bedroom where older kid(s) can sleep if they have a nightmare/need extra closeness one night
➡️remember that all of these plans may change and that’s OK!

I want to know - what helped your little ones adjust their sleep with a new sibling? Comment below!

Consider sleep as a nighttime custodian. Recent research suggests that during deep sleep, the brain removes toxins associated with Alzheimer’s disease. https://n.pr/389Fbz1

Long-term Adherence to CPAP May Reduce Blood Pressure in Patients With OSA Patients with obstructive sleep apnea with adequate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy adherence exhibited significant reductions in diastolic blood pressure long term, compared with counterparts with poor adherence.

FUN CPAP FACTS.🌡☀️💧❄

With the seasons changing, it's important to be aware of the changes this can make on your CPAP air delivery.

The humid months are on their way out and the colder, dryer months are upon us. This means you may start to notice more water being used from your humidity chamber (water resevoire), your airway feels more dry in the morning, or maybe your tube and mask are starting to build up more with condensation. The heat from the water resevoire decreases as it get closer to the point of delivery at your mask, allowing for the moisture in the air pressure to condensate.

In the cooler months, humidity control is ample to ultimate cpap comfort. Pay attention as the winter approaches to make sure you are getting enough humidity and that your equipment is not building up with water.

An excellent option for you is to buy a climate line hose with heated coils. These tubes allow for evenly distributed humidity from one end of the CPAP tubing to the other, allowing for consistent humidity for you and your airway. Also make sure your CPAP tube and mask are completely dry before using. Hang your tubing over a door handle or something in your home to allow for it to fully dry. If you let condensation build up without emptying the tube, the more troubles you will have with water and condensation in the tube night after night.

If you have any questions regarding this happening to you, or any other CPAP usage questions, we are only a phone call away! Call us today to see what we can do for you!

How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected our dreams? The COVID-19 pandemic has strongly impacted our sleep and dream activity. In a recent study published in the Journal of Sleep Research, people had a higher number of awakenings, a harder time falling asleep, higher dream recall, and more lucid dreams during lockdown than after lockdown.

Did you know that I provide one of a kind in home lactation support in Lambton County?

Most people know me as a Holistic Sleep Coach and Doula but I am also a certified Lactation Educator.

When I moved to Sarnia last year I was shocked to find out there are no private IBCLC’s practicing here. This is something our community desperately needs because breastfeeding challenges can be isolating and demoralizing. Having the support of a professional in the early days can make the difference with whether or not a breastfeeding relationship continues.

I am beyond fortunate to call Caitlin Black-Allen my sister. She SAVED my breastfeeding relationship with my son and now, at 2.5 years, I’m wondering how I will ever wean him 😆

Caitlin and I have teamed up to offer an incredible service to local parents. It’s an in home visit with a Breastfeeding Educator (me!) and the virtual zoom skills of an IBCLC (Caitlin!)

Sessions are about 1.5 hours and include text follow up support and a written plan. We are non judgemental and support ALL types of families and ALL types of feeding goals (absolutely NO formula shaming!)

I am a doula and a mother of two and I know all too well how hard these early days can be. As a sleep coach I have seen many clients babies sleep improve once feeding is properly addressed. The two go hand in hand and I’m thrilled to offer this new service in our community.

What do these health problems have in common? They can all stem from having sleep apnea! Sleep apnea goes undiagnosed often, and when people finally realize they may have it, they wish they treated it sooner to prevent the risks of developing more severe health issues. Sleep apnea is not something that most people understand. There are so many layers as to how it affects our health that people generally don't take as serious as they should or could. 365 sleeps a year go by, why not make them healthy instead of shrugging it off!? The later you deal with it, the higher the risk of developing health issues. There's no better time than now! At Restwell, we provide patients with a home sleep testing kit that can screen for sleep apnea as well as education, knowledge and other tricks and tips for getting a healthy sleep. Our test is quick, convenient and done in the comfort of your own bed!

If you want to live a high performance lifestyle, and make healthy decisions - this is a great way to do it! Feel rested, energized and more ready to take on your day than ever before.

If this sounds like something you or someone you know can benefit from, feel free to give our office a call today and speak with our sleep professionals! 226-776-8891
