Sleep apnea is a common – yet extensive – disorder that affects millions of people across the world. In fact, there are over 250,000 new cases reported each year in the US alone. Sleep apnea revolves around sudden breathing halts during the night, which then returns to normal breathing. However, these breathing stoppages can occur at any time throughout the night. This leaves the person feeling restless in the morning – and even with a full 8 hours of sleep – he or she feels like they have not gotten sufficient rest. In many ways, sleep apnea is directly associated with insomnia – which affects men, women, and children of all ages. With this in mind, a home insomnia test from VirtuOX is the best way to determine if you are suffering from sleep apnea and/or insomnia.

While sleep disorders can be managed with lifestyle changes, there is one constant that many people have to deal with. This, of course, is caffeine – which is in coffee, tea, and carbonated sodas. Caffeine is surely a stimulant but is notorious for making people feel jittery after consumption. In fact, they feel like they are “crashing”, and too much caffeine can make it hard to get a good night’s rest. With an insomnia test online or home-based kit, we can determine if caffeine is causing you sleepless and restless nights.

Sleep Apnea - Insomnia Home Testing Benefits

There are so many benefits of sleep insomnia tests. This includes the ability to take the test from the comfort of your own bed. Our units are lightweight, mobile, and simply go around your chest – with a comfortable belt. Sensors are placed on the finger and nose to check for heart rate, blood pressure, physiological disorders, neurological issues and stress/anxiety.

The use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices is important as well. In fact, at VirtuOX – we feature a full range of sleep disorder home tests and CPAP equipment. We also specialize in accurate readings for patients dealing with obstructive sleeping problems.

Sleep Insomnia and Caffeine – the Correlation

There are millions of people that are heavily addicted to caffeine. In fact, most people simply cannot function without their morning cups of coffee or tea. As you know, caffeine is a central nervous stimulant of the methylxanthine class. It is also the world’s most widely consumed – and legal – psychoactive drug. Caffeine has the ability to make people feel connected to themselves and their environments. It is even a great way to calm nerves, anxiety, and depression – while reconnecting the mind, body, and spirit. However, excessive caffeine – like most good things – also has adverse effects. This includes but is not limited to:

• Jittery feelings, nervousness, anxiety, and crashing.
• Insomnia – the inability to get a sufficient – normal good night’s rest.
• Sleep apnea – obstacles and hurdles that are preventing normal sleep patterns and proper respiratory functionality and performance.
• The inability to concentrate and focus on daily tasks, chores, work, family, etc.

As they say, too much of a good thing is simply not good. With this in mind, our sleep insomnia tests are designed to pinpoint and address the underlying causes of your condition. With precise readings, we are able to monitor and deliver timely testing results and notifications. This includes your heart rate pressure, blood oxygen levels, and any obstacles that are hindering a good night’s rest. If you are one of the millions addicted to caffeine – and suffering from sleeping problems as a result – now is the right time to cut back on your coffee and sodas. At VirtuOX, we are committed to finding the causes of your sleep apnea and insomnia issues. However, it is up to you to follow our suggestions about restoring proper and normal sleep patterns.
