A Non-Medical Alternative to Treating Sleep Disorders
Ellen (not her real name) is a busy senior executive of a global corporation.
She came to me after her performance at work began to deteriorate as her health was suffering.
Specifically she had Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and needed help in managing it so that she could continue performing at a high level in the way her business role demanded.
OSA is caused by a collapse in the airway which prevents a person from being able to take in a breath.
The oxygen level in the blood drops so the brain signals the body to wake up and take a breath (which is often just a gasp of air as the passageway is so narrow).
The result has been a deep restlessness and broken sleep- at best she got 4 hours a night, but even this was not continuous.
As a result during the work day she felt fatigued with frequent bouts of dizziness and headaches.
Ellen had been put on a CPAP machine.
She tried to take naps in the afternoon but these oftentimes lasted no more than half an hour.
Frustrated, her husband called me, asking if I could do anything to help her.
One of the first things I looked for in Ellen was where the blockage or restriction was.
For people suffering from sleep apnea the blockage is most often in the throat with often a corresponding collapse or contraction in the lungs.
I assessed her breathing and examined her in various positions from lying down to sitting up.
I also looked in detail at her sleeping patterns both on her back and on her side since she moved between the two.
Through the creative use of some equipment she already had in her office, I was able to re-align her passageway from the lungs to the nasal passages creating a clear channel through which the breath could flow freely.
I also adjusted the alignment of her neck while she was lying down.
This simple adjustment opened up her throat and she was immediately taking deeper fuller breathes without any effort at all.
The result was immediate and long-lasting.
Along with experiencing a dramatic improvement in intake of breath, she discovered that her body responded to this new healthy alignment of the spine by letting go and relaxing.
Deep restful sleep ensued for Ellen for the first time in over a decade.
If you are an executive that has experienced sleep challenges similar to Ellen- and before you resort to expensive machinery- consider consulting with Leena to see if anything can been done.
You may save your company time and money and yourself a huge amount of stress in the long term.
