  Asthma is a long-term respiratory condition that affects millions throughout the world, hindering normal breathing due to inflammation and narrowing of the airways. The most common symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough which usually worsens during the nighttime or in the early morning. Although it is currently unclear what is causing asthma, it is under the influence of genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors. Triggers which aggravate these symptoms include allergens, air pollutants, exercise, and stress which can in turn create further discomfort causing an asthma exacerbation. JCS Lung and Sleep Centre

  Sleep is critical to general health and well-being. It is the time for giving the body a chance to repair itself, build muscles, and strengthen the immune system. Sleep also plays a crucial role in cognitive functions, including memory and learning. Lack of sleep causes concentration problems, increases vulnerability to an illness, and affects mood. It is also dangerous to heart health, causing high blood pressure, inflammation, and heart disease.
