Sleep is a very complicated process and it is a way of healing and relaxing the body. Four steps are there for the sleep process to complete. Every person has their own patterns but largely we can say good sleeping habits change life patterns. A normal individual should sleep 8 to 9 hours with different posture change. Obeseshould prefer right and the left lateral position as oxygenation improve which is compromised in supine sleep. BIPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) and CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) are the machines which are the treatment if sleep apnea and also snoring patient, the patient only has to out nasal mask and they can sleep well with improved oxygenation and also enhance quality and standards of life. During sleep, there is a good temperature for body but this is according to age. Music and light also affect but it differs person to person.
