With the recent rolling back of the clock and the end of daylight savings time, some may feel their sleep pattern is disrupted.
Many consumers look to supplements like melatonin for help this time of year. However, there are many other ways to tackle this disruption and set yourself on the path to a lifetime of better sleep, according to Dr. Jerry Hu, founder of Nevada Dental Sleep, a dental practice specializing in the treatment of airway disorders such as sleep apnea.
Hu is triple-board certified in sleep dentistry and an expert in treating airway concerns. He says there are many components to a person’s “sleep architecture,” primary among them is maintaining the circadian rhythm.
In addition, sleep hygiene, hormones, and proper breathing all play roles in a good night’s sleep. Dr. Hu says many easily overlooked things contribute to a great or a poor night’s sleep, among them:
- Appropriate sleep position
- The optimal sleep environment and room temperature
- Habits and behaviors that influence our circadian rhythm
- Airway health
