    sleeplessness

    If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, it’s crucial that you follow your doctor’s recommendations. Consistent use of your CPAP machine is especially important. Whether you’re at home or out of town for the weekend, always use your CPAP device for a restorative night of sleep. Even one missed night of therapy can jeopardize your health, which is why investing in travel-sized CPAP machine is important.

    Here are the biggest effects of skipping CPAP therapy, even for one night.

    Extreme Tiredness

    After failing to use your CPAP machine at night, don’t be surprised if you wake up feeling extremely exhausted. This sleep disorder makes it difficult for a person to get the proper amount of restorative rest. A lack of quality sleep can dramatically affect your ability to concentrate. Simply staying alert throughout the day can be a big challenge, and your performance at school or work may suffer as a result. Furthermore, being behind the wheel of a motor vehicle can prove to be especially dangerous. Adhering to your CPAP therapy consistently will help you feel rejuvenated the next day.

    Anxiety & Depression

    Sleep has a major impact on your mental health. This is why it’s so important to get a good night’s rest. Neglecting CPAP therapy puts you at greater risk of experiencing feelings of anxiety. Because of your compromised emotional state, managing stress can be very hard. You may also be more prone to having bouts of depression.

    High Blood Pressure

    Untreated obstructive sleep apnea can cause your blood pressure to spike. This is especially dangerous for people who are already being treated for hypertension. If you decide to take a break from your CPAP machine for a night, it might be more difficult to control your blood pressure the following day. Your doctor-prescribed medication won’t be as effective.

    Greater Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death

    When treating a serious sleep disorder, the best approach is to avoid taking any unnecessary gambles. Sleep apnea raises your risk of sudden cardiac death.  As an apnea occurs, it lowers your oxygen levels, which places extra stress on the heart and increases your risk of a cardiac event.

    Extremely Loud Snoring Impacts Others

    Loud snoring is one of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea. People with untreated obstructive sleep apnea can make it harder for others to get the restorative sleep they need as well. Loud snoring is problematic for folks who share a bed with another person. Dramatic pauses in your breathing may also cause alarm for your bed partner. Using your CPAP therapy every night can help you and your bed partner to sleep better.

    Don’t skip out on CPAP therapy, invest in a travel-sized miniCPAP machine to get a great night’s sleep, wherever you are. Shop Today
