The Reality of Living With Sleep Apnea
“You need to get out,” she said. I could tell she was serious.
I always had a bit of a snoring problem, but in the five years we had been married, my wife had come to a breaking point. It was just too much. Not only was I snoring loudly enough to keep her awake, (she’s convinced the volume could have attracted extra-terrestrial intelligence), but I was – apparently – periodically gasping for air. Loudly. Desperately.
That isn’t normal.

Six Ways Sleep Can Benefit Your Mind
Can sleep benefit the mind? Absolutely
Milk may do a body good, but sleep is the mind’s best friend.
Everything from your happiness to how well you age depends on your brain. When you’re sleep deprived, your cognitive functioning plummets to a less-than-ideal level, making it hard to go about your day. That poses a serious threat to your mood, your memory and more.
But here’s the good news. There’s an antidote to the negative effects of sleep deprivation: Hiking up your number. (The number of hours of sleep you get, that is.)
Can your sleeping position help prevent Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s?
Can your sleeping position benefit brain health?
We already know that a sleeping position on your side is, broadly speaking, very good for you. It clears the airwaves and helps you breathe, allowing for a potentially better night’s sleep. It can help with back and posture problems. It offers safety against sleep apnea.
But now there’s a far more vital reason to consider rolling over: sleeping on your side could benefit your brain health.

Commercial Drivers With Sleep Apnea: Here’s What you need to know
Editor’s note: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has submitted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would regulate testing and treatment of truck drivers and other transportation workers suffering from sleep apnea.

A Sleep Apnea rule could impact the trucking industry
A new sleep apnea rule?
A data collection effort by the U.S. DOT intended to gauge how many truck operators have obstructive sleep apnea and what impact a sleep apnea rule could have on the industry has taken a step forward in the federal rulemaking process and could be published by year’s end.
The federal regulatory dashboard says the White House’s Office of Management and Budget received the so-deemed “pre-rule” from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on Tuesday, Dec. 15.

CPAP America works closely with commercial drivers.
While sleep apnea can contribute to CDL drowsiness while on the road (in addition to impacting driver general health and well-being), it is a treatable and preventable condition. Sleep apnea has been linked to a variety of other chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and most notably, obesity. Commercial drivers getting tested and treated is important to both driver safety and driver health. If you hold a CDL, or are required by your employer or doctor to be tested for sleep apnea, contact CPAP America for all of your testing and treatment needs.
