Do you suffer from heartburn on a regular basis? You might suffer from GERD and this stomach problem can also affect your oral health.

The CDC found that men who were diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea were twice as likely to suffer from depression as men who did not have a sleep disorder.

The FDA has reduced dosage recommendations for sleeping pills containing zolpidem as the active ingredient. Ambien and other brands of sleeping aids use this ingredient.

According to the CDC lots of people are asleep at the wheel – literally. One in 24 US adults admitted that they recently fell asleep while driving.

Do you know the signs that you, or a loved one, might have sleep apnea? The number one sign is snoring. Now, not everyone who snores has sleep apnea but almost everyone with sleep apnea snores.

Are you planning to travel during the holiday season? For patients with obstructive sleep apnea holiday travel, especially on airplanes, can be complicated.

Turkey is usually cited as the culprit in the after Thanksgiving coma that overtakes many of us. Yes, turkey contains L-tryptophan which does have a sleep inducing effect. Tryptophan is also metabolized by our bodies into serotonin and melatonin which help […]
