September has many meanings each year. The first we will cover is September as Healthy Aging Month. According to the National Institute of Aging "Older adults need about the same amount of sleep as all adults — seven to nine hours each night. But older people tend to go to sleep earlier and get up earlier than they did when they were younger. Getting enough sleep helps you stay healthy and alert. However, many older people don’t sleep well. If you’re always sleepy or you find it hard to get enough sleep at night, it may be time to talk with a doctor" (https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/sleep/sleep-and-older-adults)

DSM Sleep Specialists help people of all ages get the sleep they deserve. If you or a loved one believes something is wrong with their quality of sleep let us help. Call us today at 515-224-3948.

Did you know your sleep position matters more than you think?

BACK SLEEPING (The Gold Standard)
Pros: Best for spine alignment, reduces acid reflux, and minimizes wrinkles.
Cons: Can increase snoring, may worsen sleep apnea
Tip: Place a pillow under your knees for extra support

SIDE SLEEPING (The Most Popular)
Pros: Great for spine alignment, reduces snoring, helps with sleep apnea, aids digestion
Cons: Can cause shoulder/hip pain if unsupported
Tip: Use a body pillow or place a pillow between your knees

STOMACH SLEEPING (The Controversial One)
Pros: Can reduce snoring slightly
Cons: Twists your spine, strains your neck, puts pressure on internal organs
Tip: Try to avoid this position. It's the hardest on your body.

LEFT SIDE vs. RIGHT SIDE
Left side: Better for heart health and digestion
Right side: Better if you have heartburn/acid reflux concerns

Not sleeping well despite the "perfect" position? Sometimes there's more going on. Des Moines Sleep Specialists can help identify what's really disrupting your sleep!

If you don't want to suffer through a restless night in an uncomfortable lab trying to figure out what's preventing your best sleep, an in-home sleep study might be the perfect fit for you.

How you sleep at home is what matters. Lab settings can actually create "first-night effect," where the unfamiliar environment affects your sleep. With in-home testing, you get genuine data from your actual sleep environment.

Wondering if you have a sleep disorder but dreading a lab study? Des Moines Sleep Specialists makes diagnosis easy, comfortable, and convenient with our in-home sleep study option.

Calling all students: Here's something that might blow your mind. Going to bed might help you ace that exam more than staying up cramming!

This is why: Your brain processes and stores information during sleep through a process called "consolidation." Without adequate sleep, cramming information into your head is like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in the bottom!

What happens when you cram instead of sleep: Reduced memory retention (you'll forget what you studied!), impaired decision-making and critical thinking, slower processing speed during the exam, increased test anxiety, reduced focus and concentration, and more careless mistakes.

What happens when you prioritize sleep? The opposite!

If you or your student is struggling with sleep (whether from anxiety, stress, or something else), Des Moines Sleep Specialists can help.

What you think you know about sleep might actually be holding you back from better rest.

MYTH #1: "You can catch up on sleep on weekends"
FACT: Your body thrives on consistent sleep schedules. Weekend sleep marathons won't undo the damage from the weekday.

MYTH #2: "If you can't fall asleep, just stay in bed and try harder"
FACT: This actually creates anxiety around sleep. If you're awake 20+ minutes, get up and do a quiet activity until you're sleepy.

MYTH #3: "Alcohol helps you sleep better"
FACT: Alcohol may help you fall asleep initially, but it disrupts sleep quality and causes fragmented rest.

MYTH #4: "Everyone needs exactly 8 hours"
FACT: Sleep needs vary! Most adults need 7-9 hours, but individual needs differ.

MYTH #5: "Hitting snooze gives you extra rest"
FACT: Those fragmented sleep cycles leave you MORE groggy, not more rested.

Still struggling with sleep? Sometimes there's more going on beneath the surface. Des Moines Sleep Specialists can identify the real reason behind your sleep troubles.

Did you know your sleep quality directly affects your mental health? And vice versa!

How poor sleep impacts your mental health:
1. Increased anxiety and worry
2. Higher risk of depression
3. Mood swings and irritability
4. Difficulty concentrating and making decisions
5. Increased emotional sensitivity

And here's the catch: Anxiety and depression often CAUSE poor sleep, creating a difficult cycle.

Break the cycle by:
1. Practicing relaxation techniques (meditation, deep breathing)
2. Limiting caffeine and alcohol
3. Exercising regularly (but not before bed)
4. Sticking to a consistent sleep schedule
5. Seeking professional help if needed

If you're caught in the sleep-mental health cycle, you don't have to handle it alone. The experts at Des Moines Sleep Specialists can help improve your sleep, which often improves your overall well-being.

Napping gets a bad rap, but the truth? Strategic napping can work!

The key is timing and duration.

1. 15-20 Minute Power Nap (The Sweet Spot)- Quick energy boost
2. 30-45 Minute Nap (The Caution Zone)- AVOID! MAY CAUSE GROGGINESS
3. 60-90 Minute Nap (The Deep Dive)- memory consolidation

Pro Tips for Nap Success:
✅ Nap BEFORE 3 PM (later naps can disrupt nighttime sleep)
✅ Keep it in a cool, dark, quiet space
✅ Set an alarm so you don't oversleep
✅ Avoid napping every day if possible
✅ Don't use napping to replace nighttime sleep

Feeling like you need constant naps? That might signal an underlying sleep issue. Des Moines Sleep Specialists can help you.
