Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other sleep-related problems can impact everything from your day-to-day mood to your smile. Our Wilmington sleep apnea team will assist you whether you’ve already been diagnosed with sleep apnea, are sleeping with a CPAP machine, or are in the initial screening phase.

No one should have to choose between Sleeping and Breathing!

Do you wake up in the morning and still feel tired? Do you feel restless throughout the day, although you thought you got a full night of sleep? Does your child have trouble learning, or exhibit behavioral problems? If this is the case, you or your child may have sleep disordered or dysfunctional breathing. The most severe form of this, sleep apnea, is a serious, life-shortening disease that affects EVERY system in the body, and yet, most people do not realize they have it. It is largely undiagnosed, and more common than we realize. Sometimes sufferers go untreated because they don’t realize that there are multiple options to treat it. Even if you do not have sleep apnea, you may have dysfunctional breathing which can also adversely affect your health, and there are options to treat that as well.

At Sleep Wellness Wilmington we want to inspire hope and empower you to dream again.

Start Waking Up
Feeling Refreshed

The inspiration behind Sleep Wellness Wilmington is to find a way for patients to breathe AND sleep! The approach is collaborative and comprehensive because it is all connected, and only by getting to the root cause will we empower patients to take control of their own health.  We offer consultations, sleep appliances, Healthy Start for children, breath re-training, and more!  Since we know that time is limited and precious in this busy world, we offer virtual options for care when able.

Getting a proper diagnosis of sleep apnea from a qualified sleep specialist is essential. We suggest you consult with our sleep specialist if you’re experiencing any sleep apnea symptoms. Some typical indications of sleep apnea are:

  • Severe drowsiness throughout the day
  • Behavioral changes and irritability
  • Difficulty sleeping throughout the night
  • Snoring
  • An extremely dry or painful throat upon waking up
  • Persistent headaches 

The treatment for sleep apnea may vary based on the extent of the problem. We suggest using an oral device if you have mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. This device is designed to help alleviate obstructive sleep apnea by fitting over your teeth and keeping your airway open while you rest. It operates by stopping your tongue from blocking your airway or holding your jaw in a position that helps avoid air passage blockages while you sleep.

There are three main types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea (CSA), and complex or mixed sleep apnea.

  1. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA): This is the most common type of sleep apnea in our Wilmington patients; this type of sleep apnea occurs when the airway is partially or completely blocked during sleep, leading to breathing difficulties and interruptions in sleep throughout the night. This is usually due to the relaxation of the muscles in the throat, which can be caused by factors such as obesity, age, alcohol consumption, or certain medications.
  2. Central sleep apnea (CSA): This type occurs when the brain fails to send signals to the muscles that control breathing during sleep. This can be caused by conditions that affect the brainstem, such as stroke, brain tumors, or neurological disorders.
  3. Complex or mixed sleep apnea: This type of sleep apnea combines both OSA and CSA, where both obstruction and lack of respiratory effort contribute to breathing difficulties during sleep. This is often seen in people with severe OSA, who develop CSA as a result of prolonged oxygen deprivation and changes in their breathing patterns.

It’s important to note that sleep apnea can vary in severity, from mild to severe, depending on the number of breathing disruptions per hour during sleep and the extent of oxygen desaturation. Dr. Casey Jones and our sleep apnea specialists can determine a proper diagnosis and treatment plan for adults suffering from sleep apnea or children suffering from sleep apnea.
