Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy
CPAP therapy is a common and highly effective treatment for sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea occurs when your airway gets blocked during sleep, causing various sleep-related problems. The CPAP machine delivers a continuous stream of air, preventing the airway from collapsing while you sleep. This helps reduce snoring, improve oxygen levels, and enhance the quality of sleep.
Lifestyle Modifications
Certain lifestyle changes can greatly improve sleep quality and even reduce symptoms of mild sleep apnoea. Maintaining a healthy weight, establishing a consistent sleep schedule, and practising good sleep hygiene, such as limiting screen time before bed, can make a big difference. Avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bedtime can also help keep airways open.
Surgical Interventions
In severe cases, where other treatments aren’t effective, surgical options may be considered to remove physical obstructions in the airway. Procedures such as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), nasal surgery, or jaw repositioning can help improve airflow. Your doctor will evaluate your specific condition and recommend the best approach to ensure long-term relief and better sleep.
