Sleep Apnea Better Treated If Patients Share Bed With Wife
The study involved 10 married couples with the husband using a continuous positive airway pressure or a CPAP device to help normalize breathing as he was affected by OSA.
“A person with sleep apnea actually never sleeps properly and is very tired and the partner is disturbed and may be angry,” said lead researcher Dr Rosalind Cartwright from Rush University Medical Centre. Using the CPAP is cumbersome and most people prefer not to use it.
The current study found that on days when couples slept separately husbands used the SPAP just four hours in the night. However on days when they shared their bed with their wives, they used the device for three-quarters of the night.
The details of the study appear in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.
