Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Peace69: Is it normal for a six year old to sleep a lot?
My daughter has always been a long sleeper, but more than usual I would think. She has been treated for sleep apnea in the past, but now I don’t know what is the matter. She has seen her pediatrician for normal things this year. Pediatrician said that some kids are long sleepers and remain so even into adulthood. For example, one day this week, she came home from school and fell asleep in the house at about 3PM because I could tell she was sleepy grumpy. I tried waking her up later at about 4 then 5 then 6, but she wouldn’t get up. Through past experience I knew that she would just sleep through the night and she did till 530AM the next morning. That is 14.5 hrs!!! She woke up still wanting to sleep. The doctor has said that she is anemic, but I don’t know if this is something that is a part of some children’s life or what. She has been like this for a while, so I’m not too overly shocked about her sleeping so long. This is the first time that I have ever discussed it on here. Her normal bedtime is 7PM and she gets up at 530AM. Thanks for all of your input!!
Yes she was anemic because of a blood screen. She has just started taking flintstones iron vitamins to see if this will help.

My sister was that way. When she started Kindergarten, she would come home after school on Friday, go to sleep, and sleep until the next morning. She was the kind of person that always needed a lot of sleep, and you NEVER woke her up after she fell asleep. She was just nasty if you did. She was home this weekend. She is now 23 and took a 2 hour nap in the middle of the afternoon because she needed more sleep. It is a life long thing for her, and she needs sleep!!

Question by steve w: My son just had surgery for his sleep apnea. Is it normal for him to still snore after?

Best answer:

Answer by Wouldn’t you like to know?
How “just’ is just? If he has some swelling in his throat, that may be obstructing his airway a bit, causing the snoring. I would assume that after it has gone down you should see a reduction. If it’s been a while, then you need to call the surgeon.

Question by Mr Haun: Is the inability to breathe upon waking up, during sleep paralysis normal? or does this point to Sleep Apnea?
Throughout my life and even nowdays, but especially when I was 8-14, I have sleep paralysis but often times when I get this, I also cannot breathe and It is not until I panic that I wake up. I also note that at about age 19 when I began regularly using marijuana, the occurance, or at least realization, of sleep paralysis and not being able to breath while waking up has dramatically ceased and is very rare now.

question by Andrea : I can not sleep unless he sleeps, have a sleep disorder or is this normal? My partner dose not have regular sleep routine. He wakes up sometimes until four o’clock in the morning because it is a currency broker and studies, graphs and dosage of trade with other markets at this time, because different countries have different starting points. When he dose very difficult for me a deep sleep that I get the feeling, I’m rested and awake at last. Even if he is very calm, and although I am very tired, I was rolling at the end and eventually I’m awake at the end. Unconsciously bothering me is that he does not sleep on my side. I can not sleep deeply, if not sleep next to me. Should there be a sleep disorder or is this normal? If you have a sleep disorder, the type of sleep disorder is it? I can not find anything online. Do I have to sleep in separate rooms? All information will help Thanks! best answer: response jimbob I do not
, it is a sleep disorder. You can try to sleep in different rooms to get used to it not by myself at night, but I guess it’s an emotional thing where you can feel safe when he’s there with you. I doubt your partner will change their habits and can use to speak with a consultant to see what I do sleep better. Lack of sleep can give you many problems, especially if it is a chronic problem.
