Every night, 20 million Americans

stop breathing during sleep. Every morning

 

they wake up with no memory of suffocating, completely unaware they have a serious medical condition called Sleep Apnea.

It sounds unbelievable.

That you can stop breathing while you sleep—and not
wake up.

That your oxygen levels can plummet to less than 50% and your heart beat can soar to 300 beats per minute—while you sleep right through it.

That your body—and brain— can endure HUNDREDS of these violent, traumatic, choking episodes night after night after night—and you can wake up every morning as if nothing happened.

Welcome to the dangerous, perplexing world of Sleep Apnea.

A not-so-silent, deadly epidemic that afflicts more than 20 million Americans.

For whatever reason, Sleep Apnea does not get the headlines, the attention or the respect it deserves. More than 12 years ago, The New England Journal Of Medicine declared that Sleep Apnea is a “major public health problem equivalent to smoking” and called on the medical community to take action.

Since then, dangerous links between Sleep Apnea and major health problems such as hypertension, stroke, obesity, heart attacks, diabetes and depression have all been established.

Yet, 12 years later, little has changed. Awareness of Sleep Apnea is still very low amongst the general public and the medical community.

Most medical schools don’t spend enough time on Sleep Apnea. Many physicians often misdiagnose Sleep Apnea and refer their patients to the wrong doctors (psychiatrists, urologists, cardiologists, neurologists, etc.)

And the vast majority of people who are suffering with Sleep Apnea have no idea something is wrong with them. They think constantly being tired is normal. They think everybody snores and it’s nothing to worry about.

Sadly, many people find out they have Sleep Apnea the hard way, when they lose their job, fall asleep at the wheel, have a heart attack or a stroke.

We’re not going to let that happen to you.

By reading this booklet, you’re going to learn everything you need to know about Sleep Apnea. Most importantly you’ll learn how to find out—quickly and easily—whether you have Sleep Apnea and what you can do about it.

The sooner you do, the better off you’ll be—so let’s get started.
