Mike has been having Alexander Technique lessons for some time resulting in better posture and no joint pain. This week Mike reported that his wife was very pleased as he no longer suffers from 'sleep apnea'.
Sleep apnea (or sleep apnoea in British English) is a sleep disorder characterized by abnormal pauses in breathing or instances of abnormally low breathing, during sleep. Each pause in breathing, called an apnea, can last from a few seconds to minutes, and may occur 5 to 30 times or more an hour.
Breathing is interrupted by a lack of respiratory effort or, breathing is interrupted by a physical block to airflow despite respiratory effort and snoring is common.
An individual with sleep apnea is rarely aware of having difficulty breathing, even upon awakening. Sleep apnea is recognized as a problem by others witnessing the individual during episodes, like Mike's wife and this can be very disturbing.
Mike used to poke his head forward restricting his throat and wind pipe. Now his head , neck and back relationship ( called Primary Control in AT) is much better, his breathing and voice have improved too and this is probably why the sleep apnea has ceased.
Why not try an introductory session :
