During normal breathing, air passes through the throat on its way to the lungs. The air travels past the soft palate, uvula, tonsils, and tongue. When a person is awake, the muscles in the back of the throat tighten to hold these structures in place preventing them from collapsing and/or vibrating in the airway. During sleep, the uvula and soft palate frequently vibrate causing the distinctive sounds of snoring.
The LAUP procedure is a laser surgical procedure designed to sequentially trim and shorten these structures, thus preventing or reducing snoring.
Risks and ComplicationsYou have the right to be informed that the surgery may involve risks of unsuccessful results, complications, or injury from both known and unforeseen causes. Because individuals vary in their tissue circulation and healing processes, as well as anesthetic reactions, ultimately there can be no guarantee made as to the results or potential complications. The following complications have been reported in the medical literature. This list is not meant to be inclusive of every possible complication. They are listed here for your information only, not to frighten you, but to make you aware and more knowledgeable concerning this surgical procedure.
1. Failure to resolve the snoring. Most surgeons feel that about 85% of patients who undergo a LAUP will have a significant or complete resolution in their snoring; and an additional percentage of patients will notice reduced levels of snoring such that their sleep partners will report that it’s level is no longer offensive.
2. Failure to cure sleep apnea or other pathological sleep disorders. Pathological sleep disorders, like sleep apnea, are medical problems which may have associated serious complications. At this time, the LAUP procedure has not been proven to cure these disorders.
3. Bleeding. In very rare situations, a need for blood products or a blood transfusion. You have the right, should you choose, to have autologous or designated donor directed blood pre-arranged. You are encouraged to consult with your doctor if you are interested.
4. Nasal regurgitation, a change in voice, or velopharyngeal insufficiency when liquids may flow into the nasal cavity during swallowing (rare).
5. Failure to resolve coexisting sinus, tonsil, or nasal problems.
6. Need for revision, or further and more aggressive surgery.
7. Prolonged pain, impaired healing, and the need for hospitalization

What's a good research question that involves sleeping disorders?I'm doing an research project for biology which require me to research that topic in detail from the anatomy, histology, etiology, phsiology, and etc. It's just like researching a topic for health but I need to research the inner body(ex. how it effects the body and etc.). So what's some good questions that involves sleeping disorders? I need answers as soon as possible.

Smoke weed 2 hours before your expected bed time. Pill medications suck and have too many side effects.
It’s 4:30 am EST, and obviously I’m watching this because I can’t sleep. For people with insomnia, I have the cure. If you can, go run ten miles and I promise you that you’ll fall asleep. I can’t sleep because I’d stay up thinking about things all night.
watch my video on my life with insomnia please ;3
Ask your doc for ambien…not the new CR, the old one..10mg….miracle drug!
Insomnia is when you can't sleep for what ever reason….there are a few reason's for that.
If you have mental health issues then you can experience a time called -Mania – in which you will feel you don't need sleep and can literally go days without it. It's a part of the illness that causes a 'high' almost like wayyyyyyyyy to much caffeine in the body and it makes you want to – go go go go – and not stop for days on end and then when you crash from it you crash hard…..
So there isn't necessarily a 'disorder' but there is a Mania that can cause this to happen for many people who have a mental illness – Bipolar Disorder especially.
– hope this helps –
im watchin dis vid bc itz 2am and i cant fall asleep v_v
it's called delayed sleep phase disorder and it's a disorder of your circadian rhythm. They usually use light therapy to trick your brain into thinking it's a different time of day as well as sedatives until you can get your body back on track – however, it could be a stingy thing and you might have this schedule disorder for the rest of your life. My suggestion – get a night job.
Hypnogogic hallucination. Not really a disorder, commonly seen in normal individuals, not ego dystonic, not usually remembered. Not treated.
Agree, stress is number one cause, if you are one with life and stuff, you will sleep, if you are fucked up, ie diseases, loss of love one, depressed, jobs, happyness.
only one cause…stress…
hi anyone want to chat

im a firstyr highschool.. im the top1 student in my school but when i have my insomnia ive became top5 student… haiixxxxt…
I dont know if this will help you but when I cant sleep I lay in bed and flex all the muscles in my body that i can and i fall right to sleep.
that guy in a doctor costume looks like a porn star. and im here because it’s freaking 5am and i can’t sleep, and no, this did not help at all.
sleep apnea maybe, if your friend snores…the brain isn't getting enough oxygen durning the night because there is extra skin on the throat and breathing in causes it to close off the oxygen supply, which causes the person to wake themselves up several dozens of times each night (or something like that…).
my friend has it, and he sounds drunk (i can't stand it). he had surgery, but it didn't help. he pops up at 6 am, nods off like a drunk person if he sits still for longer than 3 minutes at any time during the day (sitting straight up), and wants to go to bed at 8.
and there's also narcolepsy, but those people don't sound drunk, they just fall asleep instantly.
Parents can be the main source of guidance for their children and help them to deal with their sleep disorder better. There are various treatments for children with sleep disorders yet parents find it unnecessary or think their children are not too old to seek psychological treatment…It is necessary to consult a doctor immediately…
Oh i cant remember but i just watched it tonight. try looking it up on their website maybe.
Sleep problems will eventually disrupt your work, family and personal relationships….Almost everyone will be affected by insomnia at some point during life. Insomnia – a short term or chronic inability to get high quality sleep – is a common sleep problem and can be caused by a variety of things including stress, a change in time zones, an altered sleep schedule or poor bedtime habits…It disturbs the entire the life of the person…
