Common Sleep Disorders Improved By This...
Dear Reader,
Not one or two, but three brand new studies have found that those who are more
active during the day actually sleep longer and more deeply than those who spend
most of their day sat down.
In
one
instance, for adults suffering from sleep apnea, combining an exercise program
of brisk walking and weight training cut the severity of their disorder by 25%,
just as much as some surgeries used to treat the problem.
When it comes to this
troublesome disease, experts are anxious for any treatment option that can bring
such results, especially when it's all natural and free from side effects.
We know that sleep apnea brings up blood pressure. It's also been associated with a number of heart problems, things like heart attack, stroke, heart failure and arrhythmias (fluttering heartbeat). It's a fairly common disorder where there are one (or more) pauses in breathing that can last from a few seconds to minutes during sleep.
Not surprisingly, stopping and starting breathing, as many as 5 to 30 times an hour can disrupt your sleep, though many cases go undiagnosed unless a family member or sleeping partner notices the symptoms.
What's truly surprising (even to the experts), is that the impressive 25% improvement in sleep apnea found in the research comes without losing weight, just by being more active on a regular basis according to Christopher Kline, Ph.D. out of the University of Pittsburgh School of Sleep Medicine.
Doctors know that being too heavy is a risk factor for developing sleep apnea, and earlier work has found that losing weight brings improvement. Exercise may now be another treatment option.
In fact, the improvement in sleep apnea symptoms from exercise alone is equal to losing about 10% of body weight, Kline explains. For study participants, who weighed in at an average of 220 pounds, such a weight drop for them would equal 22 pounds.
For his work, Kline recruited 43 sedentary adults who had moderately severe sleep apnea symptoms - half were assigned to a 12-week exercise regimen, while the other half took part in a low intensity stretching program.
The exercise included 30 to 40 minutes of brisk walking four days a week, resistance training two days a week. The stretching group met two times a week to do 30 minutes of stretching to increase their flexibility.
Both before and after, the team evaluated participants with sleep studies conducted in the lab and questionnaires to assess changes in mood, fatigue levels and how they functioned during the day.
At the end of the study, the number of times the subjects topped breathing dropped from 32 to 25 in the group who were exercising. The stretching group actually saw their breathing issues get worse, going from 24 to 29 episodes per night.

Common Sleep Disorders Improved By This... Continued...
Another analysis on the same set of subjects found that the exercise also helped
with feelings of daytime sleepiness, improved fatigue and sharpened thinking
skills when compared to a program of light stretching.
In another small study, 12 healthy young adults wore sensors that monitored movement
while they went about their business for a week. The researchers then measured
how much and how well they slept in the lab.
Those who were more active during the day had better sleep efficiency (how long
you sleep after going to bed) and spent more time in deep sleep, thought to be
vital for both memory and learning. It's the stage of sleep that helps you feel
rested and restored when you wake. This work was presented at the annual meeting
of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
Virend Somers, MD, Ph.D., a cardiologist and specialist in sleep apnea from the
Mayo Clinic, who wasn't part of any of the research, sees the findings as a good
strategy. Being active, beyond helping sleep apnea symptoms, brings many benefits
to the heart, and this is particularly important in this population of patients.
More work is needed to see how long lasting the improvements might be, and if
patients might see even more benefit if exercise and weight loss were combined.
Experts caution that those who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea not think
that exercise alone can help... we're not there yet. You should continue with
whatever therapies you're using now, though being more active during the day
can't hurt, you need to discuss your situation with your doctor first.
To your good health,
