• Women usually have more difficulty with insomnia than men do, often because of the stress of being the primary caretaker at home and also having a career. • We all need at least seven to eight hours of sleep per night, regardless of age. • Snoring is one of the primary causes of sleep disruption. Bottom line: If you have insomnia, get tested for obstructive sleep apnea (and get treated, if need be), get a nutrition plan, get your hormones tested and handled and do your best to prioritize routine sleep and exercise. Dr. Michael Doblin graduated from the University of Missouri in 1972. He maintained a successful dental practice for more than 37 years. For the past five years, Dr. Doblin has been involved exclusively in treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. He is dedicated to educating people and helping them sleep better. From his offices in Fair Lawn and Trenton, he is able to screen, evaluate and treat snor- ing and sleep apnea.
