Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder that blocks the upper airway when sleeping, caused by a temporary relaxation of the throat muscles. Symptoms include snoring, headaches, high blood pressure, and daytime sleepiness. It is estimated that 10-20% of adults in the United States are affected, which is quite an issue since OSA can significantly increase the risk of severe health problems like cancer and cardiovascular disease. Excessive weight, age, chronic nasal congestion, smoking, and asthma are common causes of OSA, but new research shows that there may be a way to lower your risk.

Exercise, along with a quality mattress like the Vispring Coronet mattresses, can provide people with healthier sleep. That is because physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and sleep longer. Maintaining an active lifestyle and staying clear of too much sedentary behavior (like watching TV or sitting too long at your desk) are associated with a lower risk of OSA. This may be linked because the reduction of risk exercise can create for other severe conditions like heart disease and diabetes.

Along with exercise, a luxury mattress can help you sleep better. If you need a new bed, check out our Labor Day Sales Event.
