Sleep and Airway

Sleep is presented as governing nearly all physiological systems and as essential to longevity protocols. Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome is often missed because it does not meet the apnea-hypopnea index threshold for obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep disorders are described as existing on a progressive continuum from mouth breathing to severe sleep apnea and hyperventilation. Mouth breathing is presented as the earliest warning sign of airway dysfunction.
