Pillows for difficulties in breathing
The most severe sleep disorder is 'Sleep Apnoea' - It’s estimated that about five per cent of Australians suffer from a sleep disorder called sleep apnoea. While sleeping, the muscles of the throat relax to the point of blocking the airway above the voice box. Breathing stops, for between a few seconds and up to one minute, until the brain registers the lack of breathing (or a drop in oxygen levels) and sends a small wake-up call. The sleeper rouses slightly, typically snorts and gasps, then drifts back to sleep almost immediately. In most cases, the person suffering from sleep apnoea doesn’t even realise they are waking up. This pattern can repeat itself hundreds of times over every night, leaving the person dogged by sleepiness and fatigue. If you have this disorder you should seek medical advice. Please check out the 'Sona Pillow' below for mild sleep apnoea and snoring.
