Can Sleep Apnoea Affect Your Heart Health? ❤️

Sleep apnoea is more than a sleep-related condition. When breathing repeatedly pauses during sleep, oxygen levels can drop, placing additional strain on the heart and blood vessels.

Over time, untreated sleep apnoea is associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.

The good news? Recognising the signs and getting the right diagnosis and treatment can help protect your long-term health.

If you experience loud snoring, interrupted breathing during sleep, or persistent daytime tiredness, speak with a healthcare professional about whether a sleep assessment may be appropriate.

Better sleep isn't just about feeling rested. It's an important part of looking after your heart.

اسلایدیCaption: How Do People Born Blind Dream?
Dreams don’t need eyes. 🌙
People born blind don’t see images in their dreams. Instead, their dreams are built from sound, touch, smell, taste, and movement. They are just as emotional and story-driven as ours.
Our brains create experiences from whatever senses we have. Dreaming is far bigger than vision. 🧠
📌 Save & share with someone curious about the brain!
Research on dreaming is still evolving, and individual experiences vary.
