With many traveling for vacation, altitude changes can cause sleep disruption, including altitude insomnia, frequent awakenings, and hypoxemia (low levels of oxygen in the blood). This week’s video explores the impact of altitude change on the body, including how it affects sleep quality and the typical 1-3 day adjustment period. It also addresses how periodic breathing, a common response to altitude, can disrupt sleep. Learn key and essential strategies to adjust to altitude, acclimatize, and improve your sleep at higher elevations. #BeWell
