Participant Guide
Participant Guide Get Enough Sleep Session Focus Getting enough sleep can help you prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. This session we will talk about: z Why sleep matters z Some challenges of getting enough sleep and ways to cope with them You will also make a new action plan! Tips: ✓ Go to bed and get up at the same time each day. This helps your body get on a schedule. ✓ Follow a bedtime routine that helps you wind down. Participant Guide: Get Enough Sleep 2 Jenny’s Story Jenny is at risk for type 2 diabetes. Her doctor asks her if she gets at least 7 hours of sleep each night. Jenny laughs. “Are you serious?” she asks. “I’m lucky if I get 5 hours.” Jenny usually doesn’t have much trouble falling asleep. But she often has to use the bathroom in the early morning. This gets her thinking about all the things she needs to do the next day. Plus, her husband’s breathing is loud. Both of these things make it hard for Jenny to fall back to sleep. She often lies awake for hours. These days, Jenny drinks less water and avoids caffeine in the evening. She makes a list of things to do the next day. Then she sets it aside. Jenny rarely needs to get up to use the bathroom during the night. If she does, she breathes deeply to help her get back to sleep. She also runs a fan to cover up the sound of her husband’s breathing. Jenny is closer to getting 7 hours of sleep a night. -

Sleep Apnea Sleep Apnea
Health and Safety Guidelines 1 Sleep Apnea Sleep Apnea Normally while sleeping, air is moved at a regular rhythm through the throat and in and out the lungs. When someone has sleep apnea, air movement becomes decreased or stops altogether. Sleep apnea can affect long term health. Types of sleep apnea: 1. Obstructive sleep apnea (narrowing or closure of the throat during sleep) which is seen most commonly, and, 2. Central sleep apnea (the brain is causing a change in breathing control and rhythm) Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) About 25% of all adults are at risk for sleep apnea of some degree. Men are more commonly affected than women. Other risk factors include: 1. Middle and older age 2. Being overweight 3. Having a small mouth and throat Down syndrome Because of soft tissue and skeletal alterations that lead to upper airway obstruction, people with Down syndrome have an increased risk of obstructive sleep apnea. Statistics show that obstructive sleep apnea occurs in at least 30 to 75% of people with Down syndrome, including those who are not obese. In over half of person’s with Down syndrome whose parents reported no sleep problems, sleep studies showed abnormal results. Sleep apnea causing lowered oxygen levels often contributes to mental impairment. How does obstructive sleep apnea occur? The throat is surrounded by muscles that are active controlling the airway during talking, swallowing and breathing. During sleep, these muscles are much less active. They can fall back into the throat, causing narrowing. In most people this doesn’t affect breathing. However in some the narrowing can cause snoring. -

Sleep Disorders and Deprivation Causes and Effects on College Students Reham Karana Biology, Bachelors of Science to the Honors
Sleep Disorders and Deprivation Causes and Effects on College Students Reham Karana Biology, Bachelors of Science To The Honors College Oakland University In partial fulfillment of the requirement to graduate from The Honors College Mentor: Jessica Koppen, Professor of Chemistry Department of Chemistry Oakland University (February 15, 2018) Introduction When told to picture a college student, a picture of a student in a library frantically studying for their next exam will most likely come to mind. Others might picture college students in a social environment among their peers, participating in a sorority, or even at a raucous party. What most will not picture a college student doing is simply sleeping. A growing and unattended problem among college students is their common day-time sleepiness and increased sleep disorders. A student’s sleep is no longer driven by the light and dark cycle but rather but their school schedule, academic load, and socialization. To maximize success in college, an obstacle most students have now endured is a lack of sleep and potential sleep disorders. What most do not know is this could actually do the opposite and hurt academic performance (Allan, 2015). Current research has shown that fifty percent of college students report daytime sleepiness and seventy percent experience insufficient sleep (Hershner, 2014). This can adversely affect one’s academic performance due to sleep having vital biological effects on the human body (Gaultney, 2010). According to The American Academy of Sleep Medicine, students that maintain a sufficient amount of sleep per night performed better on memory and motor tasks than students deprived of sleep (“College Students”, 2015).
