You might have begun\nvaping as an alternative to traditional tobacco, but unfortunately, despite\nwhat you may have heard from the advertisements, e-cigarettes can still have a\ndangerous effect on your body. Among the many health issues that have been\nlinked to vaping \u2013 including lung disease and an increased risk of cancer \u2013 one\nof the less obvious side effects is the impact it can have on your ability to get\na good night\u2019s sleep. Is sleep\napnea<\/a> in Topeka keeping you up at night? Keep reading to learn why\ne-cigarettes might be to blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Exactly Is Vaping?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An e-cigarette works by heating up a liquid solution, turning\nit into a vapor (hence, \u201cvaping\u201d) that can be inhaled. Said liquid typically\ncontains nicotine, chemicals, and metals that can create toxic compounds such\nas formaldehyde. Despite containing fewer chemicals than normal tobacco, the\ntoxins inhaled while vaping are enough to cause respiratory and cardiovascular\ndiseases. Furthermore, the nicotine the vapor contains can raise your blood\npressure, cause headaches, and inflict nausea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So How Can Vaping Affect Sleep?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nicotine is stimulant \u2013 in other words, it\u2019s a substance\nthat increases adrenaline, which in turn increases your heart rate. This makes\nit much more difficult for your body to settle down around bedtime, possibly\nleading to sleep disorders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importantly, patients who vape tend to suffer from more\napneic events that cause breathing to pause or stop altogether while you\u2019re\nasleep. These episodes interrupt the sleep cycle and often prevent you from\nspending enough time in the deepest stages of sleep that your mind needs to\nfunction properly. Ironically, while people who use nicotine might experience fewer\napneic events during the first hour of sleep, such episodes will start to occur\nmore frequently once nicotine withdrawal occurs. The inflammation of the nose\nand throat caused by e-cigarettes can also contribute to sleep apnea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can You Do If Vaping is Interrupting Your Sleep?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you believe that e-cigarettes are stopping you from\ngetting a good night\u2019s sleep, the first step is to give up the habit\naltogether. Talk to a doctor or look for resources online that can help you\nbreak your addiction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the effects of vaping won\u2019t vanish overnight, so\nyou\u2019ll also need to have your sleep disorder treated as well. You can talk to a\nsleep dentist if you think you have sleep apnea; they may recommend oral\nappliance therapy or CPAP therapy combined with an oral appliance to treat your\nsymptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ignoring the effects of vaping can be dangerous, but a lot\nof the damage can be reversed if you act quickly. If you think e-cigarettes are\ncompromising the quality of your slumber, ask yourself, \u201cWhere can I find a\nsleep dentist near me?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
