Lack of sleep could be more dangerous for women than men. According to a study from the University of Warwick performed by Michelle Mille, women who get less than eight hours of sleep a night are at higher risk of heart disease and heart-related problems than men with the same sleeping patterns.
Even one hour less causes significant changes in two markers that are predictive of future coronary heart disease and cardiovascular morbidity. Inflammatory mechanisms may play a role in the cardiovascular risk associated with sleep deprivation.
Mandibular advancement devices (MAD) are dental devices used to maintain your airway. The Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine recommends a MAD for mild to moderate sleep apnea due to compliance. Most people are able to get used to a MAD for their sleep apnea (90%) versus only 30 % of patients can tolerate a C-PAP to maintain their airway.
