THE RELATIONSHIP
THE BREATHE-SLEEP CONNECTION
When you transition from a night of light sleep to deep sleep, all the muscles in the body begin to relax, including the soft palate and the tongue. Among these muscles, the soft palate and the tongue play an essential role in maintaining unobstructed airflow. Any obstructions in these areas can disrupt the velocity and pressure of airflow, which can lead to sleep disturbances.
Under normal circumstances, the tongue rests against the roof of the mouth naturally, helping to keep the airways open. This maintenance of airway patency is essential for enjoying a restful and uninterrupted night’s sleep without night breathing problems.
Sleep apnea is a type of condition characterized by the individual experiencing complete closure of the throat airway during sleep. This sleep apnea causes sleeping issues as the patient is constantly struggling to sleep.
This obstruction leads to a significant reduction in oxygen levels, imposing undue stress on both the heart and the body. As a result, individuals with sleep apnea encounter frequent night breathing problems, where they wake up gasping for air.
FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE & SLEEP
The parasympathetic nervous system in the body helps restore a calm and composed state. This prevents the body from overworking. On the other hand, the sympathetic nervous system, , prepares the body for fight and flight response. Your body goes into a sympathetic drive, i.e. the fight or flight response when one goes from deep sleep to light sleep to avoid that obstruction. With recurrence of these events hour after hour, these chronic sympathetic tone events cause fear and strain and makes them feel agitated, anxious. They remain in a high sympathetic drive until they reach a stage of adrenal fatigue where they don’t have any more cortisol left to fight it off and they feel very fatigued. UARS is a precursor to sleep apnea and it is the most predominant in people with a lot of compensations.
These sleeping disorder problems put our bodies in a constant sympathetic drive, which affects the eyes, inhibits salivation, increases the heart rate, and bronchial dilatation, which leads to chronic respiratory diseases, acid reflux, and digestion issues, insulin resistance leading to diabetes, etc.
