Is snoring causing a rift in your relationship?
No matter how much you love each other, lack of sleep or poor quality
sleep from frequent snoring can strain a relationship as well as put
your partner’s health at risk.When snoring is a problem, relationship tension can grow in the following ways:
1. Sleeping alone. If you or your partner snores, you
might decide to sleep alone. That only makes for a lack of physical
intimacy and a strained relationship. And if you’re the one snoring, you
might feel lonely, isolated, and frustrated about something you feel
you have no control over.
2. Snoring spats. It’s common to be irritable when lack
of sleep is an issue. But try reining in your frustration. Remember,
you want to attack the snoring problem—not your sleep partner.
3.Partner resentment. When a non-snorer feels they do
everything possible to sleep through the night (ear-plugs,
noise-machines, etc.) but their partner does nothing to combat their own
snoring, it can lead to resentment. Working as a team to find a
snoring cure can prevent future fights.
So guys if you value your relationship, make it your priority to find a snoring
cure so you can both sleep soundly. Working together to stop snoring
can even be an opportunity to improve the quality of your bond and
become more deeply connected.
Im back...!
Guys I'm here again, its been a week since i updated this blog because of being busy going outside. But you know guiys i have some topic again here, and I hope i can share it to you.
Do you snore?
Snoring happens when you can't move air freely through your nose and
mouth during sleep. It’s caused by a narrowing of your airway, either
from poor sleep posture or abnormalities of the soft tissues in your
throat. A narrow airway gets in the way of smooth breathing and creates
the sound of snoring.
Common causes of snoring:
- Age. As you reach middle age and beyond, your throat becomes narrower, and the muscle tone in your throat decreases.
- The way you’re built. Men have narrower air passages than women and are more likely to snore. A narrow throat, a cleft palate, enlarged adenoids, and other physical attributes that contribute to snoring are often hereditary.
- Nasal and sinus problems. Blocked airways make inhalation difficult and create a vacuum in the throat, leading to snoring.
- Being overweight or out of shape. Fatty tissue and poor muscle tone contribute to snoring.
- Alcohol, smoking, and medications. Alcohol intake, smoking, and certain medications can increase muscle relaxation leading to more snoring.
- Sleep posture. Sleeping flat on your back causes the flesh of your throat to relax and block the airway.
Guys remember and beware of this: Is it just snoring or sleep apnea?
Snoring could indicate sleep apnea, a potentially
life-threatening condition that requires medical attention. Sleep apnea
is a breathing obstruction, causing the sleeper to keep waking up to
begin breathing again. Normal snoring doesn’t interfere with the
quality of your sleep as much as sleep apnea, so if you’re suffering
from extreme fatigue and sleepiness during the day, your problem may be
more than just snoring.

How Much Sleep Do You Need?
| Average Sleep Needs | |
| Age | Hours |
| Newborns (0-2 months) | 12 - 18 |
| Infants (3 months to 1 year) | 14 - 15 |
| Toddlers (1 to 3 years) | 12 - 14 |
| Preschoolers (3 to 5 years) | 11 - 13 |
| School-aged children (5 to 12 years) | 10 - 11 |
| Teens and preteens (12 to 18 years) | 8.5 - 10 |
| Adults (18+)
According to the National Institutes of Health, the average adult
sleeps less than 7 hours per night. In today’s fast-paced society, 6 or 7
hours of sleep may sound pretty good. In reality, it’s a recipe for
chronic sleep deprivation.
While sleep requirements vary slightly from person to person, most healthy adults need between 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep per night to function at their best. Children and teens need even more (see box at right).
And despite the notion that our sleep needs decrease with age, older
people still need at least 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep. Since older adults
often have trouble sleeping this long at night, daytime naps can help
fill in the gap.

7.5 - 9 |

hello guys,..!
i have not yet been post a lot here, because im so busy this day,but you know i have just something to tell about this topic...
INCREASE INTRA CRANIAL PRESSURE
Do you know what is this? I will just take an outline out of the books that I've read...
Increase Intracranial pressure is due to increase in 1 intracranial components.
Some Predisposing factors are:
- head injury,tumor,localized abscess
- hemmorhage,cerebral edema, hydrocephalus,
- inflammatory conditions like meningitis and encephalitis
Signs and symptoms are
a,)change or decrease LOC- it may be restlessness to confusion
-disorientation to lethargy and stupor to coma.
b.)Headache- patient can experienced projectile vomitting
-Papilledima(edema of optic disk- outer surface of retina.)
c.)Uncal Herniation-unilatateral dilation of pupil.
Tentorial herniation-bilateral dilation of pupil
d.)Possible seizure
GUYS you need to bear in mind that CHANGE IN VITAL SIGNS of the patient is always the LATE SYMPTOMS OF ICP.
- Increased BP-systolic increase, diastole is same
- Decrease HR-
- Decrease RR-you can observe CHEYNE STOKES-between period of apnea or hyperapnea with periods of apnea.
- Increase Temperature
NURSING PRIORITY
A..Maintain patent airway and adequate ventilation.
- Prevention of hypoxia-(there is decrease tissue oxygenation) and hypercarbia( there is increase in CO2 retention).
- Late symptoms of hypoxia...B-bradycardia Early symptoms ...R- restlessness E-extreme restlessness A-agitatation D-dyspnea T- tachycardia
B..Assist mechanical ventilation.
- maintain patent airway
- monitot v/s and i and o
- elevate head of bed 30-45 degrees, neck in neutral position unless contraindicated to promote venous drainage
- limit fluid intake 1200-1500ml/day
- prevents complication of immobility
C..Prevent increase of icp by:
- maintain quite and comfort environment
- avoid use of restraint because it can lead to fracture
- always siderails up
- instruct patient to avoid the ff:- Valsalva maneuver or bearing down, avoid straining of stool.-give laxative or stool softener
- -Excessive cough,excessive vomiting and lifting heavy objects
D. Administered meds ordered.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS OF NURSING PROCESS?
NURSING PROCESS
1. Assessment- the first step of nursing process is the systematic, organized collection of data about the patient.Simply its "Gathering Information".
-Need to assess:
- Past History (chronic conditions,drug use,allergies,level of education,level of understanding of disease and therapy,social support,financial support,and pattern of health care)
- Physical Assessment (weight,age,physical parameters related to the disease state or known drug effects).
2. Nursing Diagnosis- once data have been collected, the nurse must organize and analyze information to arrive a nursing diagnosis."Analyzing the information gathered to arrive at some conclusions."
3. Intervention - the assessment and diagnosis of the patient situation will direct specific nursing interventions." Actions undertaken to meet the patients needs such as administration, education and comfort measures."
4.Evaluation- is part of the continual process of patient care that leads to changes in assessment, diagnosis and intervention.Simply determining the effects of the interventions that were performed.
In general the nursing process provides an effective method of handling all of the scientific and technical information as well as the unique emotional, social and physical factors that each patient brings to a given situation.Using nursing process ensures that the patient receives the best, most efficient, scientifically based holistic care.
