Kevin's Newington Sleep Apnea Children Blog

Obstructive sleep apnea can be a life-threatening condition. Here at Melotrex, we want to make sure our Newington insomnia customers are aware of the symptoms and dangers of sleep apnea.

Persons with sleep obstructive apnea stop breathing intermittently during sleep when the back of their throat constricts and blocks the air. Many Mount Vernon and Alexandria people currently being treated for apnea were unaware they had it until their spouse noticed the rhythm of their breathing changed during sleep.

If you sleep all through the night but still feel tired and groggy during the day, you could have sleep obstructive apnea. Symptoms of sleep apnea are fairly obvious. Periods of breathing lapses, loud snoring and gasping for breath can occur several times during the night without the person remembering them the next day. To determine if you need to see a doctor, ask your partner or other family member to observe your sleeping. (Be prepared to be shaken violently until you wake up and take a breath!) If you sleep alone, you can record yourself sleeping to determine if you demonstrate apnea symptoms.

Many Woodbridge people are diagnosed with sleep apnea every year. Risk factors include obesity, large tonsils, nasal congestion, and a deviated septum. It is most common in middle-age Woodbridge men but is also found among all age groups in Mount Vernon and Alexandria. Mount Vernon teens and Woodbridge children with large tonsils can also develop obstructive sleep apnea.

Melotrex is a non habit forming sleep medication that is effective for non-apnea sleep issues. If you can’t seem to get enough sleep because you wake up too early, Melotrex is the natural sleeping solution for staying asleep until the morning. If your partner is currently using a CPAP breathing machine and the noise makes it difficult for you to fall asleep, Melotrex can help you start your night out right by falling asleep fast. See http://www.bestsleepaids.net for Melotrex ordering info and more helpful sleep tips.

Do you feel like napping all the time? VA sleep doctors advise their Newington patients to refrain from naps during the day. After a few days without napping, insomnia patients can often sleep through the night.

I am a former insomniac and live in Newington. I started using Melotrex to help me fall asleep. I have compared other sleep aids sold in Mount Vernon and Alexandria. Some of them made it possible for me to sleep through the night, but I could never fully wake up during the day.

I have a Woodbridge sales job which requires constant travel around VA. Before I started using Melotrex, I would often pull my Ruby family car over at a rest area and take a quick ‘power nap’. If only those naps had made me feel more ‘powerful’ when I woke up!

What good is a sleep aid that makes you feel just as tired during the day as if you hadn’t slept a wink the night before? Melotrex is an all-natural insomnia treatment that helps you at night and during the day. At night, you fall into a deep, restful sleep. In the morning, you wake up with a clear head. That is the magic combination when it comes to Woodbridge sleep aids.

Other effective holistic sleep aids similar to Melotrex are 7Hour Slumber and Sleep2Night. Don’t waste your days napping, try Melotrex, 7Hour Slumber or Sleep2Night. When you sleep at night, you don’t need to nap during the day.

Catch you later

Welcome to Kevin’s Woodbridge sleep blog. Maybe it can provide some light reading for your sleepless nights if you are troubled by sleep problems. I am pretty tired (no pun intended) of not getting enough sleep. I plan to try some new Newington sleep aids to see if they really work. I will give you updates here on my blog.

This week, I will use Melotrex and see what happens. I ordered Melotrex on http://www.bestsleepaids.net. I didn’t even need to leave my Newington house to pick it up at a Woodbridge drugstore. Melotrex is relatively new but has been receiving some favorable reviews from long-time Alexandria insomniacs and Alexandria holistic health professionals.

In addition to reporting on my Newington sleep aid results, I also plan to include some interesting facts about sleep in my Woodbridge insomnia blog. For example, did you know that people who regularly sleep less than five hours at night have roughly a 40 percent higher rate of heart problems (including heart attacks) than people who are able to consistently get eight hours of sleep? I have a few other risk factors for heart disease, so my chronic insomnia is even more troubling.

Here is another interesting but non-worrisome sleep factoid from the animal kingdom: Dolphins sleep while swimming using one half of their brain at a time.

I wish one half of my brain could man the controls while the other half curls up on the couch. Come to think about it, it is possible that only half of my brain is currently working. Perhaps Melotrex will help get the other half in gear.

Check back soon.

Once upon a time there was a Ruby car-drivin’ entrepreneur named Kevin Apperson (that’s me) who lived in Newington, VA. Kevin’s father has had heart problems since he was relatively young and isn’t an example of heart-healthy eating. Kevin’s mother, who lives in Woodbridge, suffers from emphysema due to smoking. Kevin plans to be around to spoil grandchildren in twenty years, so is trying hard to break the chain of parents’ poor examples when it comes to health.

Kevin eats a healthy diet, sweats regularly at a gym in Alexandria and can often be found doing the downward dog at a Mount Vernon yoga studio. Kevin has a strong immune system and, fortunately, hardly ever gets sick. (Don’t discount the obsessive hand-washing.) And in case you were wondering, Kevin doesn’t touch cigarettes.

This all sounds good so far, right? Here is the problem. In spite of diligence, Kevin often feels less-than-normal. Why? Insomnia. Not occasional sleeplessness, Kevin goes weeks with wide awake sleep time. Our poor insomniac has watched all the old movies that play on TCM–several times each!

If you suffer from insomnia, you know that it doesn’t matter if you have a heart rate of 20, a bloodstream free of cholesterol and can run a four-minute mile–you still feel lousy!

A friend in Fort Belvoir challenged me to compare some good sleep aids to find one that works for me. I start tonight with 7Hour Slumber. I did some extensive research and found only positive feedback about this all natural sleep remedy. I will use it for a week and then try Melotrex to see which one is the most effective for chronic sleeplessness. Check back soon for the end of the story.

I hope to live (and sleep) happily ever after.
