✨With the holiday season filled with celebrations, you might notice some changes in your sleep after drinking alcohol. But did you know that even small amounts of alcohol can:

- Make it easier to fall asleep at first, but reduce overall sleep quality
- Increase night-time awakenings
- Disrupt deep, restorative sleep
- Contribute to snoring or lighter breathing overnight

If feeling rested is important during the busy festive season, spacing out drinks and staying hydrated may support a more comfortable night’s rest. Wishing everyone a safe holiday season! ✨

A sleep-in during the holidays can be tempting, but it can sometimes leave you waking up with a headache. Here are a few comfort measures that can assist:
💧Drink water – dehydration plays a major role in headaches. Add a pinch of salt if it’s available.
🥘Eat a substantial breakfast – choose foods rich with protein or complex carbs over sugary options.
🚶Move lightly – Enjoy a slow stretch or slow walk to help ease muscle tension.
☀️Get some natural light – Spend 10-15 minutes in the sun to help your body reset its internal clock.
❄️🔥Try Temperature Therapy – Cold may feel calming on some, while warm may help others relax tight muscles. Explore both to help find what works best for your headache type.
While it’s a great time to rest, big changes to sleep routines can sometimes make it harder to feel refreshed once regular schedules return.

🫁 COPD is more than just breathing difficulties - it’s a serious condition that can affect your lung health and overall wellbeing.
In 2020, a study in Thorax found:

- People with COPD who never smoked had 2.6 times the risk of developing lung cancer compared to people without COPD.
- People with COPD who have smoked had more than 6 times the risk

This is one of the many reasons why early detection and management are vital for health. At Manse Medical, our specialists help patients detect COPD early, monitor their lungs, and manage risks. If you notice shortness of breath, a chronic cough, or other breathing issues, speak with a respiratory specialist today.

This year’s theme is “Short of Breath, Think COPD.” Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, yet it is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
-A diagnosis of COPD should be considered in anyone experiencing:
-Persistent shortness of breath, particularly during physical activity
-Chronic cough with or without mucus
-Wheezing
-Chest tightness
-Frequent respiratory infections
-Fatigue

Without appropriate management, COPD can lead to:
-Frequent chest infections
-Pulmonary hypertension
-Right-sided heart failure (cor pulmonale)
-Reduced physical fitness and muscle weakness
- Depression and anxiety due to reduced quality of life

Early diagnosis and proper management can significantly improve quality of life and clinical outcomes. To learn more about COPD, visit: https://www.mansemedical.com.au/chronic-obstructive-pulmonary-disease/
