Waking up to p*e multiple times a night? It might not be your bladder or prostate — it might be your airway.

In this short video, Dr. Jerald H. Simmons (Founder of CSMA) and Nurse Practitioner Maggie Lavender explain how untreated sleep apnea can trigger nighttime bathroom trips.

When your airway collapses during sleep, your body creates massive negative pressure inside the chest. That strain affects the right side of the heart and sends a signal to the kidneys to start flushing… even if your bladder isn’t full.

This chain reaction is one of the most overlooked signs of sleep apnea — and one of the most frustrating.

What You’ll Learn:

• How obstructed breathing affects your heart and kidneys
• Why you may wake up repeatedly at night
• Why limiting fluids before bed won’t solve the problem
• The symptoms that point toward undiagnosed sleep apnea
• How CSMA helps patients finally stay asleep through the night

If you're waking up again and again — even when you avoid drinking late — it’s time for a proper sleep evaluation.

A tragic 48 Hours case. A shocking sleep disorder connection. And the sleep science that explains it.

CBS’s 48 Hours asked Dr. Jerald H. Simmons (CSMA Founder, Triple Board-Certified sleep specialist) to review one of the most devastating sleep-related cases they’ve ever covered.

Benjamin Elliot claimed he stabbed a family member while sleepwalking.
Dr. Simmons didn’t buy the story — until the sleep data revealed the truth.

What he uncovered:
• Severe obstructive sleep apnea
• Non-REM parasomnia (sleepwalking)
• A history of childhood sleepwalking
• Genetic risk factors
• EEG and sleep-stage patterns that matched a violent parasomnia episode

Why this matters:
Sleepwalking doesn’t happen “out of nowhere.”
Sleep apnea isn’t “just snoring.”
And sleep disorders in children and teens are far too often dismissed.

As Dr. Simmons explains, airway obstruction, oxygen drops, and fragmented sleep can trigger dangerous behaviors during deep sleep — behaviors that may be preventable with the right diagnosis.

❤️ If someone you love struggles with snoring, sleepwalking, or disrupted sleep: don’t ignore the signs.
Early evaluation saves lives.

If you reach for melatonin every night just to fall asleep… your body might be trying to tell you something. 👀

A new study presented at the American Heart Association meeting found that long-term melatonin use in adults with insomnia was linked with higher rates of heart failure and hospitalization.

But here’s the key ⬇️
👉 Melatonin isn’t causing the problem — it may be a red flag for deeper sleep issues.

In this new video, Dr. Jerald Simmons breaks down:
🔹 What the study actually found
🔹 Why chronic insomnia can put strain on your heart
🔹 How sleep apnea and poor-quality sleep fit into the picture
🔹 When it’s time to get evaluated by a sleep specialist

If melatonin has become your nightly ritual, don’t ignore the sign. Quality sleep is essential for heart health — and your long-term wellbeing.

❄️ Feeling tired and foggy this holiday season?

Cool air, dry heat, and seasonal allergies might be more than an annoyance — they could be triggering Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS).

At CSMA, we diagnose and treat UARS to improve breathing and deepen sleep before winter fatigue sets in.

💤 When your sleep looks “normal” — but you’re still exhausted.

You might have UARS (Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome) — a hidden condition that restricts airflow and disrupts deep sleep without obvious apnea episodes.

At CSMA, we identify and treat UARS so you can finally wake up feeling rested.

When it comes to your health, no system works in isolation — and neither should your doctors. 💡

For patients with sleep apnea, the connection between sleep and heart health is more than a coincidence. Partnering with both a sleep specialist and a cardiologist ensures a full-picture approach that helps prevent long-term complications and improves overall wellness.

At Comprehensive Sleep Medicine Associates (CSMA), we believe collaboration isn’t just good medicine — it’s essential. That’s why we’re proud to support the upcoming 22nd Annual Sleep Education Consortium (SEC) Sleep Conference, where medical and dental professionals come together to advance the future of interdisciplinary care.
