Have you seen us for sleep apnea treatment? Have you been extremely consistent with your habits or might you admit that your weekends have been throwing things off just a bit? It’s very easy to be quite serious about wearing your oral appliance throughout the week and to keep a steady schedule only to throw caution to the wind during the weekend, as your hard work takes a bit of a nosedive. Let’s talk about how your weekends may, in fact, be ruining your sleep treatment! As a result, you’ll have a better view of changes you can make to ensure the results you need for improvement.
Your Weekend Schedule Is Dramatically Different
If your weekend schedule is nothing like your weekday schedule, then you may be interrupting your sleep apnea treatment in a serious way. As you know, we suggest going to bed at around the same time nightly, so your brain and body are used to going to sleep at the same time each night. As a result, you promote restful sleep because you remove the chance of causing yourself confusion. When your weekend sleep is all over the place, this can make falling asleep (and then staying asleep) very difficult.
You Forget To Wear Your Treatment Over The Weekend
As you know, it’s very important to wear your sleep apnea treatment consistently. This doesn’t mean most nights. It means every night. So, if you’re getting up to quite a lot of fun over the weekend and you forget to wear your oral appliance on Friday night and then you are too tired Saturday night to remember to use it, you’re doing yourself quite a disservice. Keeping weekends planned out the best that you can will be very beneficial in treating your sleep disorder!
