My Story
Back in 2012, I was driving to work and fell asleep at the wheel, it was truly a wake-up moment for me. When I got to work, I spoke with my manager and couldn't understand a word he was saying because my brain was not processing information properly. I knew I had a serious problem and had to do something. So, I underwent a medical sleep study and found out that my oxygenation level dropped to 80% during the night. Normally, your oxygenation level is 98-99% when functioning properly. I tackled this challenge head on. There were a lot of ups and downs emotionally because I didn't know if what I was doing would work, it was a really tough time in my life. However, I ended up creating a solution that provided me good sleep without using a medical device.

In late 2023, I started lifting light weights and my sleep condition worsened. I guess I am just stubbornly persistent. So, I determined to solve my sleep apnea completely and now, I get consistent, calm sleep. There is a lot of stress when your good sleep is random and you don't have control over it. Oftentimes, I would go to bed worried that my sleep apnea would cause me to say or do something that I would regret the next day. Knowing that I have a system that works night after night has made a huge difference in my life. My memory is sharper ... I have less anxiety ... It is much easier to be social and take emotional risks ... I have much more patience. These are just some of the benefits.
