International sleep experts estimate that nearly 1 billion people worldwide have sleep apnoea. In these uncertain times when we are all at home a lot more, quality of sleep is so important.
It all started with complaints of me snoring. One sleep study later and I was diagnosed with severe Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). The sleep study showed I stopped breathing 67 times an hour in my sleep which meant my body was deprived of oxygen. I used to rest on my back so when I switched to sleeping on my side, my OSA vanished. Overnight.
It’s not always that simple but from all the research I undertook about sleep apnoea, I have also come up with some suggestions and products that have helped me achieve better sleep, Luxuriate style:
