Antisnore
About 30% of all adults are
snoring in sleep. The snore creates considerable social problems. According to
sociologists, the snore produced by one of the marriage partners is the reason
for 10% of divorces. But the snore can destroy both
the family and a man’s health. Loud non-continuous snore is the messenger and one
of the basic symptoms of the obstructive repose apnoea (ORA). Upon the heavy types
of ORA one can register up to 400-500 pauses in breathing within one night and
with the total length of 3-4 hours; it results in acute chronic deficit of the
oxygen during the sleeping hours. It, in its turn, considerably increases the
risk for development of the arterial hypertension, heart rate abnormality,
heart attack, insult and sudden death in sleep. Respiration disturbance of
the sleeping man can also result in sharp fall of the quality of repose.
Headaches, permanent drowsiness, irritancy, weak attention and memory and also lower
level of the potency are just the portion of symptoms that can be experienced
by the man in constant lack of sleep. The most dangerous are attacks of the
acute drowsiness during a drive in the car which considerably increases the
risk of road accidents.
One of the most important aspects for treatment of snoring and apnoe of sleep is the higher position of the bed-head. In that position, the tongue sinks less in the mouth and does not put pressure on the respiratory tracts thus eliminating snore and pauses of breathe in the time for sleep. It is necessary, however, to warn against the use of the squabs since in that position the body, as a rule, slips down from the pillow and the head is inclined too much increasing the snore. The solution of this problem is the use of “Antisnore”- the highly technological computerized bed made by “Consul. It allows to change the geometry of the mattress in the area of the bed-head. Special sensor detects the snore and gradually raises the bed –head till the snore stops. After some time of the quite slumber, the bed-head is slowly returning to the original position. So, during the sleeping time the bed-head inclination angle may change ensuring comfortable repose. Unlike electric shock hand cliffs, which produce electric discharge in respond to snoring and waken the man, the process of the bed –head raising/lowering does not affect the quality of the sleeping man repose. |
