We all know drinking water is an important contributor to our overall well-being. In fact, according to the CDC, water intake is critical to our health because it helps us maintain a normal body temperature and it helps prevent dehydration symptoms like unclear thinking, mood change, and overheating.
Because our bodies need water to function properly, we start to feel unwell if we don’t have enough water to drink. But could a glass of water help with more than just minor ailments, like a headache? Even more, could proper hydration help alleviate sleep apnea symptoms and lead to better sleep? To provide you with the answers, we’ve teamed up with Aeroflow Sleep Science Advisor, Dr. Carleara Weiss, to discuss the role hydration plays in sleeping well.

There are three types of sleep apnea, and each one should be taken seriously. After all, we’re talking about sleep-disordered breathing, which can greatly affect your quality of life. Is the difference between them really that big though? This blog addresses obstructive sleep apnea most often, because it is the most common. Today, with Aeroflow Sleep Advisor, Dr. Carleara Weiss’s expert insight, we’re going to talk about central sleep apnea and how it compares.
How do you know if you have obstructive sleep apnea or not? The best place to start is by speaking with your healthcare provider, who will likely refer you to a sleep specialist for a sleep study. While an overnight sleep study may sound intimidating at first, this technology has come a long way. It’s even possible to complete a sleep study in the comfort of your own home! These are called at-home sleep studies; keep reading for a brief overview of what they are and how they work.
Aeroflow Sleep would love to be able to supply all of its patients with CPAP equipment covered up to 100% through insurance, but unfortunately, not all CPAP equipment is covered; not even a little bit. That’s why we’re here to distinguish which CPAP supplies you can get from Aeroflow Sleep and which you can’t, especially the in-season specials: travel CPAP machines.
In this day and age, we’ve all grown accustomed to the instant gratification online shopping brings. Things like add-to-cart and same-day-shipping are now expected. Except these functions don’t really exist within online healthcare services, especially those that take insurance. And yet, healthcare is absolutely where we want to see the fastest results. After all, lives may literally depend on it. Aeroflow Sleep understands that. That’s why, today on the blog, we’re walking you through our new trackers.
While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is typically the go-to treatment option healthcare professionals prescribe, some patients may opt for surgical procedures instead. Surgery is often reserved for individuals who have tried non-surgical treatments—like CPAP or oral appliance therapy—but have not found success in doing so. Surgery may be an option for cases ranging from mild to severe OSA, so to provide more information on this topic, we’re answering the most commonly asked questions about sleep apnea surgery with the help of Aeroflow Sleep Science Advisor, Dr. Carleara Weiss.
The theme for World Sleep Day this year was “Sleep Equity for Global Health.” If you aren’t familiar with the concept of ‘sleep equity,’ you are not alone. It has only been a few years since I learned about equity and why it matters whenever we talk about improving sleep health and diagnosing sleep disorders. For example, research into sleep equity acknowledges that not everyone starts with the same access to healthcare and resources when it comes to their sleep. Aeroflow Sleep is strongly invested in overcoming that challenge, and here’s how we can begin to change together.

“No sugar before bed!” You’ve likely either told a child, grandchild, or spouse this, or maybe you were on the receiving end of this advice. We all know sugar is not the best for us, but what actually happens to our bodies when we eat sugar before bed? Today, we’ve teamed up with Dr. Monique May, Board-Certified Family Physician and Aeroflow Sleep Medical Advisory Board member, to discuss sugar’s impact on both your sleep and overall health.
