Watch your caffeine and coffee Mela Luna Sleep Aid Review intake to try to sleep better. Drinking coffee within 8 hours of sleep can make it very hard to get to sleep because caffeine stays in your system for 8 hours or so. Most of the caffeine is out within 3-4 hours but it takes another 3-4 hours to get the rest out. You just don't want to deal with that caffeine when you're trying to sleep. Making sure you follow these guidelines should help you to sleep better in the long run, however, you always want to make sure that you are actually tired and feeling drowsy before going to bed. Before I try to fall asleep I usually will pick up a boring story book and read it in a slow boring tone to myself to make myself drowsy, making it easier to fall asleep. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Machines, or CPAP Machines for short, are devices used to treat a sleeping disorder called Obstructive Sleep Apnea or OSA. These are contraptions that a patient uses to maintain a required amount of pressure around the nose, mouth and throat area to prevent apnea or lapses in breathing to occur. OSA usually occurs during sleep. What happens is that when a person sleeps, the throat muscles and tongue relax clogging the airways around the throat. This leads to breathing lapses with intervals lasting minutes. This is bad for any individual. Lapses in breathing could cause reduction of oxygen in the system. To compensate, the heart pumps more blood to provide oxygen to the other parts of the body. By doing so, the whole process of pumping more blood during sleep will stress the heart and may lead to more serious heart conditions. To treat this sleeping disorder, patients are prescribed CPAP treatment. This treatment requires the use of a machine that will maintain a certain amount of air pressure in the mouth and throat area. A mask, attached to a tube, will be worn by the patient. This tube is attached to a flow generator and this flow generator is the machine that will pump air to the mask.
