Who Is At Risk for Sleep Apnea?

It's estimated that more than 12 million American adults have obstructive sleep apnea. More than half of the people who have this condition are overweight. Thin people develop the disorder, too.

Sleep apnea is more common in men. One out of 25 middle-aged men and 1 out of 50 middle-aged women have sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea becomes more common as you get older. At least 1 out of 10 people over the age of 65 has sleep apnea. Women are much more likely to develop sleep apnea after menopause.

African Americans, Hispanics, and Pacific Islanders are more likely to develop sleep apnea than Caucasians.

If someone in your family has sleep apnea, you're more likely to develop it.

People who have small airways in their noses, throats, or mouths also are more likely to have sleep apnea. Smaller airways may be due to the shape of these structures or allergies or other medical conditions that cause congestion in these areas.

Small children often have enlarged tonsil tissues in the throat. This can make them prone to developing sleep apnea.

Other risk factors for sleep apnea include smoking, high blood pressure, and risk factors for stroke or heart failure.

For me it is not the malted but those distilleries that have the most effect in copious amounts......

I was told once that you wake up because you sober up and are looking for that next drink.

there is truth there.. alcoholics that drink themselves to sleep...ahem passing out...
will wake up, sometimes not too pleasantly... and that is just what it is..body craving more...


I have had bouts of insomnia on and off my whole life...

I will say this... elminated booze years ago.. coffee a few years ago..
working on chocolate... been good lately..but crave it like a mad man..

exercizing more...resumed my mad man walks, and have even been doing old fashioned stuff like push ups and stuff...
plus side is, I have dropped 15 pounds this year..so far... I hope more goes away...and I feel much better

shut the damn TV off and the PC too.. a good hour or better before you even think about getting into bed....

this helps immensely... you wind down, decompress.. and you are ready...I fall asleep quicker, sleep deeper undisturbed, and actually feel rested come morning...

Even with more stress in my life.. I know I am getting more sleep lately..due to changing a few old habits


but.. I would still do strange things for chocolate RIGHT NOW ...

I've quit a lot of things..smokin, drinkin, coffee and other stuff.. but damn that devil chocolate got a hold of me....
