Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a chronic, progressive condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. This increased pressure makes the heart work harder to pump blood through the lungs, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and dizziness. But one aspect of pulmonary hypertension that is often overlooked is its impact on sleep.

Many people with PH experience sleep disturbances, which can exacerbate symptoms and affect overall well-being. In this blog post, we’ll explore the connection between pulmonary hypertension and sleep, how PH affects sleep quality, and strategies to help improve sleep for those living with this condition.

Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) is a chronic lung condition that affects over 200,000 people in the United States alone. It is characterized by scarring (fibrosis) of the lung tissue, which makes breathing increasingly difficult over time. While most people with PF are familiar with its impact on daily activities, many are less aware of how it affects another critical aspect of health: sleep.

In this blog post, we will explore how pulmonary fibrosis impacts sleep, why these disturbances occur, and what steps you can take to improve your sleep quality while managing this condition.

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a group of over 200 lung disorders that affect the interstitial tissues, the area around the air sacs in the lungs. ILD can make breathing more difficult, reduce oxygen levels, and cause symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, and fatigue. But there’s another aspect of ILD that is often overlooked—its impact on sleep.

In this blog post, we’ll explore how ILD can affect sleep, why these disruptions happen, and what strategies can help improve sleep quality for those living with this condition.
