Are you sick of being tired?
Over the past years, there has been growing awareness of sleep disorders including snoring, sleep apnea and insomnia affecting quality of life, work performance, driving, reaction time, attention, concentration, and mood.
Sleep problems have been associated with asthma, GERD, nocturia, diabetes, arrhythmia, hypertension, elevated C-reactive protein, and subsequent Cardio-vascular and CNS morbidity and mortality.
The article “Association of Sleep-Disordered Breathing, Sleep Apnea, and Hypertension in a large Community based study” published in JAMA in April 2000 show majority of sleep apnea patients are not obese and sleep apnea is multifactorial. Another common factor of patients with sleeping problems is evidence of nasal congestion due to chronic rhinitis. This can lead to mouth-breathing, stretching of the palate and crowding of airways. Weight gain worsens the breathing by making air passages floppy.
At the Garden City Sleep Center the staff has been providing services for the last 10 years and has also been involved in sleep research. The facility is designed per the guidelines of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and is conveniently located on Franklin Avenue in Garden City. The staff is trained in both adult and pediatric care.
12 possible reasons for your Tiredness
Feeling tired happens when your body or mind is not getting enough rest, nutrients, oxygen, or balance.
If you feel tired daily for more than 2–3 weeks, it’s best to consult a doctor for blood tests and proper evaluation.
1. Boredom
Parts of your life have created a rut of routine that dull the “zap” in your brain.
2. Allergies
The body’s natural reactions to allergens can wear you down and keep you from sleeping.
3. Over-caffeination
Caffeine, though a stimulant, can actually make you tired when the dose wears off.
4. Multi-tasking
Switching back and forth among many projects drains glucose quickly.
5. Anemia
Without plenty of red blood cells, your body and brain receive less oxygenation.
6. Poor Posture
Inefficient positions make it harder for blood to nourish these slouching muscles.
7. Under-Active Thyroid
A decrease in the hormones produced by your thyroid can cause a slower metabolism.
8. Undiagnosed Heart Disease
A heart that’s unable to pump blood efficiently has to work harder to transport oxygen throughout the body.
9. Lack of Exercise
Exercise gets that metabolic rate up, which means more energy.
10. Dehydration
Water helps the body perform its life-sustaining functions, making your body run faster and more efficiently.
11. Pre-Diabetes
Excess glucose doesn’t get into the cells, but gets stored as fat or spills into the urine, and you grow tired.
12. Sleep apnea
Even short stops to your breathing while sleeping will wake your brain, keeping you from getting a good night’s sleep.
