Home Sleep Test

The sleep test is used to assess sleep apnea findings and to diagnose sleep disorders. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by a period of time during which the breathing stops for a while and continues again. Symptoms of sleep apnea;

  • Daytime sleepiness
  • Voice and continuous snoring
  • Breathing periods during breathing and breathing hunger
  • Resting sleep

The sleep test is also used to diagnose other sleep disorders.

  • Narcolepsy (daytime, deep sleep attacks)
  • Fainting with sleep (seizure)
  • Restless Legs Syndrome
  • Chronic insomnia (difficulty falling asleep)

Respiratory Disorders in Sleep

The most common symptom in this group of diseases is Sleep Respiratory Disease (Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome). The most common symptom is snoring. Snoring occurs during sleep with noisy breathing. This is due to the narrowing of the throat during sleep, which disturbs those who share the same bed with the person who snores according to their degree of discomfort, those who stay in the same house, even the neighbors. Excessive weight, alcohol intake, fatigue and insomnia also increase snoring, except for the causes of narrowness in the throat such as tonsils, small tongue and palate. Although it does not cause any problem for the person who snores, the partner who hears the snoring frequently and can not sleep comfortably for this reason comes in front of the family doctor, friend's warning doctor. Research has shown that snoring increases with age, middle age and nearly half of the population snore. When the narrowing of the throat, which plays a role in the snore, becomes more apparent, it leads to the complete closure of the airway, the cutting of the breath (apnea). It is called obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (sleep obstructive sleep apnea syndrome), which is frequently repeated during sleep, when breathing between noisy snoring, and therefore snoring, lasts for a long time (over 10 seconds) and then continues again with breathing and noisy snoring.

Sleep Respiratory Remission

Sleep Respiratory Disease (Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome)

Recurrent respiratory disorders (apnea, apnea, hypopnea: hypopnea) develop as a result of obstruction of the throat during sleep.
It causes sleep interruption due to the complete interruption of breathing or a considerable decrease in sleep during sleep, and causes a decrease in the proportion of oxygen in the body. Breathing ends with waking, breathing starts again. When alertness occurs in the nervous system, the effect of the relevant nervous system on the heart and vessels causes the blood pressure to rise. Degradation of sleep affects metabolism and sexual functions. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is therefore an important health problem that affects many body systems.
Patients often disgrace in a noisy way, have not received their morning sleep, wake up unrestrained. With the cause of insomnia, disturbances in mental ability and sleepiness during the day can develop.
Excessive weight, causes in the throat tightness, alcohol intake in the evening, some drugs aggravate respiratory arrest in sleep. The use of non-prescription medicines can be detrimental to the use of medicines related to sleep without knowing the underlying problem.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is diagnosed in the sleep laboratory for sleep and respiratory changes. It is also necessary to work in sleep laboratories to regulate treatment in patients who will undergo pressure therapy
The prospect of community health can be summarized in three main sections:

Sleep disordered breathing is a common condition in the community: The most common cause of excessive sleepiness is known as sleep apnea syndrome (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome). It has been shown in studies that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is present in 4% of men and 2% of women in adulthood. Up to 3% of cases have been reported in studies conducted in children. However, very few of the patients are diagnosed. It is estimated that only 1/10 of the patients can be diagnosed in USA where sleep laboratories are common.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome leads to major health problems (illness and death). Clinical consequences such as sleep disturbance, decreased oxygen, increased hypertension in patients with sympathetic nervous system hypertension, respiratory and cardiac insufficiency, stroke, impaired cardiac rhythm, and overweight (obesity) may develop. Insomnia can lead to accidents in people who use vehicles that require careful attention. Patients' compliance with their surroundings may deteriorate, job performance and quality of life may decrease. Studies have shown that the life expectancy of patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome is reduced compared to the non-ill persons due to the mentioned disease outcomes and the expectation of life expectancy by treatment can be increased. Increased cardiovascular disease in these patients may result in fatal outcomes. This suggests the importance of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in terms of community health.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a treatable disease. In obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, efficacy has been shown for today, it is a pressure therapy applied through mask in the form of treatment. The purpose of the treatment is to keep the upper airway, which has increased tendency to close during sleep, by giving positive pressure from the outside. Surgical treatment may be appropriate for patients with moderate disease who are not overweight and have anatomic stenosis in the upper airway. The other treatment that can be selected in these patients is oral devices (oral appliance). It can be said that treatment can reduce or eliminate the negative consequences of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
In summary, obstructive sleep apnea is an important public health problem threatening the quality and duration of the hypopnea syndrome. It needs to be recognized and treated appropriately in terms of patient and community health. Diagnosis and treatment are possible when referring to health centers, sleep laboratories related to the subject.

Insomnia

Insomnia (insomnia) is an important health problem seen in all three people in society.
Insomnia is seen at every age. Most people get insomnia for one or two nights, but this can sometimes last for weeks, months, or even years. Insomnia is most common in women and elderly people.

Insomnia due to impaired compliance is a problem of going to sleep or going to sleep for several nights. Insomnia due to maladjustment lasts less than three months. This type of insomnia usually occurs under stress or stress. Children, for example, return and move very often in their sleep just before the opening of schools in the fall. Insomnia can occur at night before an important test or sport activity. Adults often sleep poorly before an important business meeting or after a discussion with a family member or close friend. People tend to have easier sleeping problems when they are away from home. Trips beyond the time slot can cause insomnia due to adjustment disorder. Exercise close to bedtime (within four hours) or diseases can also cause this type of insomnia. When a stressful situation comes to an end or when a person begins to adapt, sleep returns to normal.

CHRONIC ISSUES

Chronic insomnia lasts at least a month. Most sleeplessers worry about their sleep. However, it is wrong to link the entire sleep problem to sleep anxiety. A study has shown that patients with this type of insomnia may have sleep respiratory or abnormal muscle activity. A sleep specialist may be able to help resolve the causes of insomnia and suggest effective treatments.

PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY (LEARNED) UNSUFFICIENT

If you are sleeping worse during stressful periods, you are worried that your performance during the day will not be good. You can spend more time sleeping at night. This usually causes things to go worse. After a few nights, some things you did before you went to bed remind you of your sleeping problems. Wearing your pajamas, closing the lights and covering the blanket suddenly makes you more awake. Some people with psychophysiological insomnia can fall asleep immediately if they are not in bed. They sleep in the café, reading the newspaper, watching TV or driving. Even sleeping only a few nights in a month can trigger psychophysiological insomnia. Treatment includes learning to "learn" things that remind me of bad sleep and learning about new sleeping habits.

What causes sleep insomnia?

PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS

Insomnia tendency: Some people have more insomnia than other people in stressful periods. Others respond to stress by headache or stomach pain. Knowing that the person is prone to insomnia and that it will not last too long is useful when you deal with it when you develop insomnia.
Persistent stress: Family problems can be attributed to a child with a serious illness or to an unsatisfactory job sleeping problem. Learning to deal with stress helps to treat your sleeplessness.

LIFE STYLE

Reminders: Caffeine keeps people awake. Even if you drink coffee at night and do not block your sleep, your sleep will be less relaxing. Nicotine keeps people awake, smokers fall asleep for longer than gore drinkers. Many drugs contain stimulants. These drugs include weight loss and allergy and asthma medications. Some cold medicines also contain stimulants.
Alcohol: You may think that a glass of wine before bedtime helps you sleep. Alcohol, however, causes you to wake up briefly in the sleep all night long, as well as providing you with a quick night sleep.
Working hours: If you are working on a shift, you are more likely to have a sleeping problem. This includes people whose working hours are constantly changing. It also includes employees at night or early in the morning. Even on weekends it is important to keep the same program constant. This helps to schedule your body to sleep at certain times and to remain awake at other times. Wake up every morning at the same time is a way to stabilize your sleeping pattern. It is important to have a routine.
Exercise: You may think that resting and a calm lifestyle prevents you from sleeping. In fact, people who do little or no exercise experience the difficulty of falling asleep at night. Regular exercise allows people to sleep better. The best time to exercise is after lunch. Do not exercise close to bedtime. Leave at least two hours between bedtime and slowing heart rate after exercise.
Sleeping pills: Sleeping pills should be used to control your doctor. Some sleeping pills, if used every day, become useless after a few weeks. On the other hand, if you stop using it suddenly, your sleep will get worse for a while. This problem can be reduced by slowing down the sleeping pills.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS

Sound: Keep the bedroom as quiet as possible. Nearby traffic, airplanes, television and other sounds can wake your sleep without causing you to wake up.
Light: Use a canopy or thick curtains to keep the bedroom dark. The light reaches your eyes even if your eyes are closed. Light can dissipate your sleep.
If you feel tired at night if you think that you are going all night without interruption, all these factors should be watched.

WHEN I NEED TO CALL HELP?
If you are sleeping longer than a month, and if your daily function is disrupted, it is time to seek help. Ask your doctor and talk to a sleeping specialist. Your medical history, physical examination, and some blood tests are useful in establishing some of the causes of insomnia. Your bed partner and other family members may have valuable information about your sleep. Ask them whether you have snored or not snored or if you have been restlessly sleeping. Your health care professional will also want to know whether sleeplessness makes you sleepy or depressed during the day, or whether it affects your other forms of life.
Sometimes insomnia can only be improved by providing information and training. Some people naturally sleep less than others. Everyone needs to sleep for eight hours. Counseling can help with insomnia related to poor sleep accomodation. In other cases, evaluation may be recommended at the center of drugs or a sleep disorder.
If you are told that you need to be assessed at the center of a sleep disorder, you may be asked to sleep for one or two weeks and to keep a sleep log showing your awake periods.

Can sleeping pills help?
Sleeping pills are not curable for insomnia. Sleeping pills can sometimes mask or reverse problems caused by other diseases. For example, sleeping pills affect sleep-related respiratory distress in the worst way. Insomnia should be recognized correctly and treatment options should be discussed with a sleep specialist before the drug is started.
Many sleeping pills are available, including some without prescription. Different types of medicines have some advantages and disadvantages. For example, some are 'short-acting' and are best suited to situations where sleeping is difficult. Others are 'long-acting' and provide sleep all night. Talk to a sleep specialist to determine which is the best medicine for you.
