Does sleep apnea get worse with alcohol?

Yes, alcohol can make sleep apnea worse.

When consumed, alcohol acts as a depressant of the central nervous system, which can cause relaxation of the muscles of the throat and the soft tissues of the airways.

This increased relaxation can contribute to airway obstruction, which increases the risk of sleep apnea.

In addition, alcohol can reduce the effectiveness of the brain's mechanisms that regulate breathing during sleep, leading to longer and more frequent apnea episodes.

It can also disturb the quality of sleep, causing lighter sleep and more frequent awakenings, also affecting the general rest.

For people with sleep apnea, it is generally recommended to avoid alcohol, especially in the hours before bed, to help manage symptoms and improve sleep quality.
