If you have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettersleepeugene.com\/what-is-sleep-apnea.html\">sleep apnea<\/a>, then you need to make sure that you\u2019re properly managing the problem even when you\u2019re away from home. Below are 5 tips that you should keep in mind when traveling with sleep apnea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Don\u2019t Forget to Pack Your Oral Appliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may rely on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettersleepeugene.com\/oral-appliance-therapy.html\">oral appliance<\/a> to keep your airway open while you\u2019re asleep in order to reduce your sleep apnea symptoms. Even when you\u2019re on vacation, you need to make sure that you\u2019re wearing your appliance every night; as such, you should double and triple-check to confirm that you\u2019ve packed it along with its protective case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. If You Fly, Keep Your Oral Appliance in Your Carry-on Luggage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When flying, it\u2019s better to keep your oral appliance in your carry-on luggage. That way, even if the worst happens and your checked luggage is lost, you\u2019ll still have what you need to properly manage your sleep apnea. On top of that, you\u2019ll be able to use your appliance if you decide to take a nap while you\u2019re on the plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Get Your Oral Appliance Adjusted Before You Leave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it seem like your oral appliance no longer fits the way it should? If so, you\u2019ll want to have your dentist take a look at it before you depart for your trip. That way, you can have the necessary adjustments performed to ensure that the appliance fits as comfortably as possible while you\u2019re away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Remember to Clean Your Oral Appliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling may be your chance to get away from your regular routine, but some habits should be kept up even while you\u2019re on vacation. Naturally, this includes cleaning your oral appliance to prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria. When you take your appliance out of your mouth in the morning, don\u2019t forget to rinse it off. Make sure that it\u2019s dry before you put it back in its storage case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Practice Good Sleep Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to wearing your oral appliance, it\u2019s also important to maintain the right sleep habits in order to manage your sleep apnea. This means going to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time every morning; maintaining a consistent sleep schedule even while you\u2019re traveling can go a long way toward improving the quality of your slumber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ivan Paskalev is dedicated to caring for those in need, and he considers sleep dental medicine to be an extension of that.
