However, many people sleep poorly without realising why. It is often unnoticed breathing interruptions that disrupt a restful night's sleep. Anyone who snores regularly, is exhausted in the morning and suffers from concentration problems during the day should consider the possibility of sleep apnoea. The traditional route to a diagnosis is to go to a sleep laboratory. However, appointments there are often rare and not everyone is comfortable with the idea of spending a night under observation. The good news is that a sound diagnosis is now also possible on the move.

This makes it possible to determine exactly whether and how often breathing interruptions occur, how long they last and how severely they affect sleep.<\/p>\n<p>The sleep laboratory offers a particularly comprehensive analysis and is particularly useful if you already have severe symptoms or pre-existing conditions.

Others shy away from the organisational effort, for example due to work commitments, long waiting times or long journeys. Shame or the worry of \"not being able to sleep while being observed\" also prevent some people from having a diagnostic test carried out in the laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, possible breathing disorders during sleep often go untreated. However, this can have long-term health consequences such as high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia or an increased risk of stroke or heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"  style=\"height: 30px\" ><span\r\n\t\t\tclass=\"vc_empty_space_inner\">\r\n\t\t\t<span class=\"empty_space_image\"  ><\/span>\r\n\t\t<\/span><\/div>\r\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>Convenient alternative: sleep apnoea diagnosis without a sleep laboratory with the WatchPAT<\/h3>\n<p>The WatchPAT system offers a stress-free alternative for anyone who prefers a convenient solution that is suitable for everyday use.

In many cases, so-called CPAP therapy (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is an option. A special device ensures that a constant positive pressure is maintained in the airways during sleep. This keeps them open and reliably prevents breathing interruptions at night.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, a customised snoring splint may also be sufficient, especially for milder forms of sleep apnoea. In addition, lifestyle factors such as weight reduction in the case of existing obesity can significantly alleviate the symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>If anatomical causes favour sleep apnoea, surgical treatment at our ENT clinic in Frankfurt may be advisable.
