Know someone whose New Year’s Resolution is to Sleep Better? We’ve got some ideas for you!

Eye masks are small, portable sleep aids that everyone should keep in their nightstand. They help block out any extra light, which reduces sleep interruptions.

Noise machines, like eye masks, help reduce sleep interruptions. They work by blocking out sounds of the outside world or noises inside your home. This can result in less sleep interruptions.

Lastly, no bedroom is complete without some blackout curtains! These ensure that your bedroom is very dark, which makes for higher quality sleep

If any of these symptoms feel a little too familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep suffering through them.

From snoring and fatigue to morning headaches and mood swings, these may be signs of something more serious like sleep apnea. Let’s talk about what’s really going on and how we can help.

Your best sleep is waiting. 💤

It’s a common misconception that sleep apnea = loud snoring. That’s not always the case!

Sometimes, it’s completely silent, but it doesn’t mean that the airway isn’t being restricted. While your bed partner may not notice your apnea due to snoring, you will likely experience it through feeling tired every day, despite getting enough sleep, waking up with headaches, feeling irritable, and more.

At Sleep Better South Carolina, we understand how important it is to get a good night’s sleep. Many of our patients struggle with snoring and sleep apnea.

Dr. Blalock can treat these issues utilizing the Fotona® NightLase laser technology. This procedure is a safe, gentle, non-invasive laser treatment that tightens and strengthens the tissues in the soft palate and throat to help open a patient’s airway.

Our patients love the quick and non-invasive procedure for helping their snoring and getting back to great sleep!

Blue light signals to your brain that it’s daytime, so it can make it very confusing to your body to see blue light when it’s nearing bedtime. While we recommend curling up with a great book versus falling asleep to the TV, if you must watch TV, consider some blue light blocking glasses 🤓

Did you know that getting poor sleep actually ages you more quickly? Because quality sleep is what allows your body to restore itself, such as healing from an injury or illness, it also helps restore your skin, hair, nails, and more.

Over time, this inefficient restoration adds up, causing you to look (and feel!) older than you are. Life's too short for bad sleep - get your sleep checked!

Our bodies are very in tune to day and night signals and how this encourages sleep. Therefore, if you’re inside all day with lack of sunlight, your body may have trouble differentiating day vs. night and associated sleep signals.

We recommend spending a minimum of 15-20 minutes outside per day, but if that isn’t possible, then spending time near a window and seeing sunlight that way can help. ☀️

If you're gasping for air or snoring so loud that you wake up your bed partner, it's time to get your sleep checked! Snoring is caused by a collapsed airway, which can be caused by the position you sleep in, your jaw falling back into an incorrect position, or sleep apnea.

Not only is snoring irritating, it's also preventing you from getting the oxygen your body needs throughout the night! There's no harm in getting your sleep checked, but the benefit could mean better sleep for you, and therefore less interrupted sleep for your bed partner. 💤

We've all heard about turkey making you tired after a big Thanksgiving meal, but there are also several other foods to incorporate into your diet that can support healthy sleep!

🔘Almonds are a source of natural melatonin which can help support your natural sleep cycle. They're also an excellent source of magnesium, which we're huge fans of as an overall health booster.
🔘Chamomile tea, often deemed "sleepytime tea" is high in antioxidants that have been widely known to promote sleepiness and can even reduce disrupted sleep during the night.
🔘Kiwis have been suggested to increase levels of serotonin, which we all know as the "happy" chemical in our brains, but it also plays a big part in regulating sleep cycles.
🔘Lastly, cherries (or specifically, tart cherry juice) include loads of antioxidants and are high in natural melatonin.

Give some of these a try!

“Sleep Better South Carolina is truly life-changing!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Dr. Blalock really knows her stuff—she’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about finding the right solution. The entire staff was friendly, thorough, and took the time to explain every step of the process. I never felt rushed or like just another appointment on the schedule.

I recently received my oral appliance and honestly didn’t expect it to work. After a terrible experience with CPAP, I was prepared to be disappointed. But this device is amazing. I’m sleeping better than I ever have. SnoreLab shows 0 snoring, and my WHOOP sleep monitor is showing huge improvements in both deep and REM sleep. I’m still shocked that after all these years, I’ve finally found something that actually works.

No more CPAP, no more mouth tape, and no more wasting money on cheap snoring gadgets from Amazon. This has completely changed my nights—and my days.

Thank you so much, Sleep Better South Carolina!”

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Josh!
