What is Sleep Apnea

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep Apnea is a common disorder in which an individual has one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while sleeping. Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes. Often, they occur 5 to30 times or more an hour. Typically, normal breathing then starts again, sometimes with a loud snort or choking sound.

Sleep Apnea usually is a chronic (ongoing) condition that disrupts your sleep. You often move out of deep sleep and into light sleep when your breathing pauses or becomes shallow. This results in poor sleep quality that makes you tired during the day. It is one of the leading causes of excessive daytime sleepiness.

It can be tough to identify Sleep Apnea on your own as the symptoms only occur when you’re asleep. So, you can overcome this difficulty by asking your bed partner to observe your sleep habits or recording yourself during sleep.

Common Signs and Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

• Morning headaches
• Waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat
• Night-time awakenings
• Forgetfulness and difficulty to concentrate

Signs and Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

• Loud and chronic snoring
• Long pauses in breathing
• Choking, snoring, or gasping during sleep

何謂睡眠呼吸暂停症？

Sleep Apnea或稱睡眠呼吸暂停症或睡眠窒息症，是一种睡眠时候呼吸停止的睡眠障碍。男性的发病率比女性高2至8倍，平均20个成年人则有一人患上；老年人病发率则为10%。另外，肥胖、扁桃腺过大、鼻骨移位、酗酒、吸烟及服用安眠药的人士较易患上睡眠呼吸暂停症。

欲確定自己是否患上睡眠呼吸暫停是蠻艱難的，由於症狀只發生正當你睡著。 所以，你可以尋求你配偶或伴侶的協助，觀察你的睡眠習慣，或許錄製自己睡眠的過程 。  

常見的睡眠呼吸暂停症跡象和症狀

• 早上醒來頭痛
• 早上醒來口乾或喉嚨痛
• 夜間覺醒
• 健忘和集中困難

   

主要的睡眠呼吸暂停症跡象和症狀   

• 響亮和慢性的鼾聲
• 比較長的睡眠呼吸暫停 
• 窒息，打鼾或睡眠喘息

Technologically Modern and Eco-Friendly Sleep Products, by AKEMI Sleepedia Series

by Fred Victor

Eco-friendly sleep products may be expensive, but increasing consumer demand for the environmentally-correct has inspired AKEMI (one of the Southeast Asia’s best-selling bedding brands) to go extra mile to produce truly clean, with German hi-tech sleep products at affordable prices.

The Southeast Asian markets have a generally high awareness and appreciation of European technology and quality in bedding products. Therefore, AKEMI responds with its latest German microfibre technology to the expanding demand for innovative new ranges of its branded high-tech and ecological filling fibres and fabrics.

The task of finding a truly technologically modern and eco-friendly sleep product nowadays is not easy. Let’s explore how AKEMI Sleepedia explains: “Sleep Healthier, Live Healthier” with its phenomenal Sleepedia Suprelle™ series, including the incredibly high performing Sleepedia Suprelle™ Ultra, Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro and Sleepedia Suprelle™ Eco Fresh TENCEL®.

In brief, AKEMI Sleepedia is a new German technically advanced fibre which feels even more like a natural fibre.

Allergies such as allergic rhinitis and asthma are on the rise, probably the most common complaints in the Asian countries affecting up to 40% of the population (varies by age group and country). Therefore, a cleaner, healthier sleep comfort is essential.

AKEMI is responding to this, and presents the Sleepedia Suprelle™ Ultra to you and your loved ones.

Sleepedia Suprelle™ Ultra contains extremely fine, anti-dust mite and anti-microbial four-hole fibre technology that is selected for the filling of this product, resulting in an unmatched softness and excellent durability for a maximum comfort while maintaining the shape and firmness.

The natural beauty of Sleepedia Suprelle™ Ultra is that it stops the development of fungi necessary to the dust mites’ life cycle. It’s anti-dust mite, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal – helping to ensure a healthier sleep environment! Click here to view Sleepedia Suprelle™ Ultra products.

A revolutionary fibre which has been patented by ADVANSA R&D laboratories, this is Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro – adds never before seen- or felt- softness to pillows, bolsters and quilts. The uniqueness of Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro is its ability to gradually return to its original shape … every morning, due to its incredible slow release effect. Simply, such revolutionary microfibre technology has been designed to match the characteristics of real down.

In responding to the perfect balance between comfort and technical performance, AKEMI presents to you the Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro.

SLEEPEDIA Suprelle™ Micro’s outstanding micro fibre technology has been designed to match the unique characteristics of real down. It offers an excellent thermal insulation in duvets and soft, supportive comfort in pillows, with its ability to return to its original shape. The unique softness of Suprelle™ Micro comes from its ultra-fine and short fibres and allows a perfect balance between comfort and technical performance.

The uniqueness of Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro is exceptional, thanks to the two unique properties: its 6 times finer fibre and 8 times shorter than current fibres – giving an unparalleled elasticity and density due to high volume of fibres. Which means that, pillows or bolsters made of Sleepedia Suprelle™ Micro fibre is comfier, bouncier and fluffier than any fibres.

The balanced microclimate is essential for a good night’s sleep. Problems like night sweats could cause sleep discomfort. As a rule of thumb, night sweats are often associated (1) an over-heated bedroom, (2) illness such as colds or flu, and (3) bedding products made with non-optimal feeling insulation.

Let’s imagine … when two environmentally-friendly and eco-label fibres meet together. It’s Sleepedia Suprelle™ Eco Fresh TENCEL®, the awarded European Union Eco-Label.

 

In a global partnership with ADVANSA, the AKEMI R&D team has discovered a new comfort solution – an innovative system to improve moisture management and air circulation in pillows, bolsters and quilts.

Sleepedia Suprelle™ Eco Fresh with TENCEL® is the eco-friendly innovation in bedding concept specially designed to improve moisture management and air circulation in mattress ticking for a balanced micro-climate which is essential for a healthier night’s sleep. The combination of two complementary fibres – TENCEL® and Suprelle™ Eco Fresh – offers an effective solution to problems of night-sweats. Mattress ticking made of Suprelle™ Eco Fresh with TENCEL® allow permanent moisture wicking and excellent air circulation thereby providing a superior breathability and quick drying. The natural and soft touch of the fabric gives the consumers an additional optimal feeling and comfort and contributes to a significantly relaxing and restful sleep.

Choosing the Right Sleeping Pillow

by Fred Victor

Using the wrong pillow could leave you with stiff and sore neck, and wake up feeling just as tired as when you laid down to sleep.

Interestingly, statistics indicate that most of us have trouble sleeping, which can impact our physical and mental health. Inevitably, using the wrong pillow is one of the most common causes of neck pain – a condition that negatively affects our daily lives, for instance, headaches, insomnia, snoring and fatigue are all closely associated to neck pain.

But, choosing the correct pillow isn’t an easy task, it can be challenging anyway as they are so personal, that conform to your body as well as sleeping habits. Doesn’t it sound interesting?

Therefore, choosing the right pillow fill keeps your neck properly supported and leaves you feeling awake, alive and rejuvenated in the morning.

Here are 3 tips I shared, to choose the right pillow for a good night’s sleep.

STEP 1

Finding the Way You Sleep

Are you a side sleeper, or do you sleep on your back? The way you sleep is critical for developing a sound sleeping pattern. A pillow should fit the way you sleep, not the other way round.

Well, the very first thing to consider when getting a pillow for yourself is your sleeping pattern. It’s not kidding as pillows are not crafted equally; different pillows cater to varying styles of sleeping. So, understanding the way you sleep will help you to select the most suitable one.  

As a rule of thumb, you may need a foam-filled side pillow if you’re a side sleeper, it will support your back while your rest. On the other hand, if you’re a back sleeper, you may consider a memory foam pillow that will provide greater neck support. If you’re a stomach sleeper, you may select a thin but firm down pillow that provides the ultimate comfort.

STEP 2

Selecting a Pillow Material

No doubt, there is wide variety of pillows available in the market today. Here is a list of three main materials of pillows that you will find available, for instance, down or feather, memory foam and microfibre or polyester fill.

Down or Feather Pillows

The word “down” refers to the feather down of birds, from which a pillow is made. But, the down has fundamentally different types of down (birds). For example, goose down, feather and down alternatives (or called microfibre).

Memory Foam Pillows

Memory foam was developed in 1966 under a contract by NASA's Ames Research Center to improve the safety of aircraft cushions. Nowadays, many bedding companies are producing equal quality memory foam pillows, and have gained global popularity due to its softness and comfort, and the unique ability to remember the contours of you body.

Microfibre or Polyester Fill Pillows

Microfibre or polyester fill pillows are fundamentally filled with a synthetic material, such pillow offers a firm, comfortable and long lasting pillow.

STEP 3

Finding the Right Thickness and Firmness

Considering the thickness and firmness of your pillow will the one last thing. With the best material you’ve chosen, selecting a pillow that is either too thick or too thin will compromise your sleep. Thickness of a pillow is not the same as firmness, having said that, it’s possible to have a thin pillow that is firm, or a thick pillow that is soft. So, it depends solely on your preference and taste.

In sum, the bottom line is that selecting the right sleeping pillow is merely a personal preference based on your own comfort sleeping pattern, and then choosing a pillow material that jives with … having the right sleeping pillow is more than anything else, simply nothing promotes good health better than a good night’s sleep.

Have a good night’s sleep ;-)
