There are products available that can help alleviate the above mentioned symptoms, and CPAP Science provides consumers with a wide array of products, such as CPAP machines, BiPAP, nasal masks, full face masks, nasal pillows, other masks, nebulizers, filters and tubing.

CPAP machines are said to be a primary tool in easing this condition, and CPAP Science has a wide array of these machines. The “Respironics M Series 100” has gained quite a bit of attention as of late. According to the company website, the concept behind these machines is that they stop the sleep interruption though applying pressure in the throat.

These machines frequently follow a certain format, and the bells and whistles vary. They usually have a small mask that fits snugly over the nose leaving the mouth uncovered. Individuals who use these machines are mandated to sleep with their mouths closed, so that they breathe only through the nose; a chin strap is part of this set up because it assists in keeping the user’s mouth closed. Perhaps the most important aspect of this machine is that while the user sleeps, the machine softly shoots air up the individual’s nose at a faintly elevated pressure; effectively alleviating the collapse of the throat and allowing the user to breathe unimpeded.

The “Respironics M Series 100” is reportedly different than other machines and is said to enhance overall lifestyle. According to the website, the product is a light weight travel sized machine, which allows users the convenience of portability. Additional featured listed are: heated humidification, mask off alert, automatic on/off, controls that light up and an ability to adjust the rise time setting, as well as a Digital Auto-Trak Sensitivity feature.

• May help ease Sleep Apnea

• Although more user friendly than many CPAP machines, may still prove unwieldy for some
• Not reputed to be a cure

The cost of “Respironics M Series 100” is comparable to other, less user friendly machines. We would have appreciated a testimonial from a satisfied customer, rather than strictly relying on the words of the manufacturer. That said, this system may be useful to those consumers who require a light weight system.

Not every individual who wakes up many times during the night is diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. Some individuals are just experiencing some disruption of their sleep cycle, which can occur for a variety of reasons, such as caffeine intake, stress, restlessness and an overactive mind, as well as a reduction in Melatonin production in the body, a hormone produced by the pineal gland, which controls the sleep/wake cycle.

As we age, Melatonin production can dip, causing sleep issues for some. Holistic supplementation with Melatonin has been shown to be an effective method that realigns the sleep cycle, with few side effects. As a result, we suggest those who are experiencing sleeplessness to look for holistic products that contain this element.
