Find out how using a CPAP machine can help with sleep apnea treatment.

The importance of sleep cannot be overemphasized. It makes you active and healthy. However, a lot of people have difficulty sleeping as a result of sleep apnea. Most times, people don't even know they struggle to breathe during sleep and have come to embrace the discomfort they face as normal. But sleep apnea makes you wake up at intervals and also limits your intake of oxygen, which is very dangerous to your health.

CPAP Machine for Sleep Apnea Treatment

Using a CPAP machine is one of the leading ways to solve sleep apnea and other associated issues. CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. This machine works by opening the airways for continuous breathing. Pressurized air from the CPAP machine passes through a tube to the mask around your nose or mouth and pushes blockage in the airway. Here are some of the ways a CPAP machine can stop snoring and improve your sleep:

1. Pressure controlled
The CPAP unit supplies you with the necessary amount of pressurized air that keeps your airway open and also allows you to breathe in and out without interfering with your breathing. The machine can be set to deliver air at lower air pressure when you first lay down to sleep. Then it automatically increases as you fall deep asleep. The pressure of the machine can also be adjusted based on your specific needs depending on your level of sleep apnea.

2. Flexible and easy to use.
CPAP is non-surgical and non-invasive; you can wear it and remove it at will. The CPAP machine is a small soft mass connected to a flexible hose that is hooked up to the CPAP unit, a small quiet box. The CPAP supplies air pressure to the airway to keep it open during sleep.

3. Noise-free
Modern CPAP machines are built to be quiet so it does not disturb your sleep. It comes with comfortable masks designed to suit you and prevent snoring. Also, many modern machines have a humidifier that reduces drying out of nasal tissues and makes the air warm and comfortable.
