Whois & Analysis for cpap.com

Sleep apnea, also spelled sleep apnoea, is a sleep disorder in which pauses in breathing or periods of shallow breathing during sleep occur more often than normal.

Each pause can last for a few seconds to a few minutes and they happen many times a night.

In the most common form, this follows loud snoring.

A choking or snorting sound may occur as breathing resumes.

Because the disorder disrupts normal sleep, those affected may experience sleepiness or feel tired during the day.

In children, it may cause hyperactivity or problems in school.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a form of positive airway pressure (PAP) ventilation in which a constant level of pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is continuously applied to the upper respiratory tract of a person.

The application of positive pressure may be intended to prevent upper airway collapse, as occurs in obstructive sleep apnea, or to reduce the work of breathing in conditions such as acute decompensated heart failure.

CPAP therapy is highly effective for managing obstructive sleep apnea.

Compliance and acceptance of use of CPAP therapy can be a limiting factor, with 8% of people stopping use after the first night and 50% within the first year.

Psychotherapy (also psychological therapy, talk therapy, or talking therapy) is the use of psychological methods, particularly when based on regular personal interaction, to help a person change behavior, increase happiness, and overcome problems.

Psychotherapy aims to improve an individual's well-being and mental health, to resolve or mitigate troublesome behaviors, beliefs, compulsions, thoughts, or emotions, and to improve relationships and social skills.

Numerous types of psychotherapy have been designed either for individual adults, families, or children and adolescents.

Certain types of psychotherapy are considered evidence-based for treating some diagnosed mental disorders; other types have been criticized as pseudoscience.
