problem for many.<\/p>\n<p>She explained: \u201cSleep apnoea is a chronic sleep disorder whereby the upper airway is completely or partially obstructed during sleep, leading to a decrease in oxygen content in the blood and sleep fragmentation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs well as drowsiness and fatigue during the day, cognitive dysfunction and impaired work performance, sleep apnea has been identified as a risk factor for other clinical consequences such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and stroke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sleep apnoea is a sleep condition that causes breathing to repeatedly stop and restart when you\u2019re asleep.<\/p>\n<p>The main symptoms are feeling very tired, finding it hard to concentrate and having mood swings,<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\"

forms of sleep apnoea can be treated by maintenance of a regular sleep pattern, weight reduction, or quitting smoking\u201d, she added.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>There are other signs to look out for when it comes to sleep apnoea and experts say that if the snoring is really loud \u2013 then it\u2019s worth seeing your GP.<\/p>\n<p>Many people have no idea they snore at night \u2013 aside from those who wake up gasping because there is not enough air flow.<\/p>\n<p>Watching your partner stop breathing, gasp for air and snore isn\u2019t normal and that\u2019s something that warrants seeing a specialist.<\/p>\n<p>People with obstructive sleep apnoea will often also suffer with high blood pressure due to the stress the body has been placed under.<\/p>\n<p>When you stop breathing during your sleep, your nervous system kicks in and raises your blood pressure, releasing stress hormones which will gradually also raise your blood pressure over time.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from sleep apnea, Dr. Senn said there are other sleep disorders that can cause people health complications.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> long distances is jet lag.<\/p>\n<p>Jet lag occurs when our circadian rhythms or body clocks (our natural and internal sleep-wake cycle) are temporarily disrupted due to changing time zones- this is often more prevalent when traveling east, she explained.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWhen our circadian rhythm falls out of sync with our new environment we can have headaches, stomach problems and difficulties falling asleep at night as well as daytime sleepiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJet lag is pretty common and most will have experienced or are able to recognize the effects of jet lag.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> rule, it usually takes one day per time zone crossed to adjust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, traveling from London to New York, you cross 5 time zones, so it will take approximately 5 days for your body to adjust properly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Senn said that one way to fight the effect of jet lag is to re-synchronize your circadian rhythm faster by exposing yourself to bright sunlight throughout the morning and day.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"insomnia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
