Are you tired of being Sleepy?


You're tired of being tired all the time. Days go by in a blur. You wake up foggy-headed, probably cranky. You survive the day with lots of caffeine. Chronically fatigued, falling asleep during the day - sometimes in embarrassing places.
And you suffer because you haven't managed to conquer your sleep apnea. But that's not from a lack of trying. You've asked your doctor what you can do to cure your sleep apnea. His only suggestion is the dreaded CPAP.

In his research, he talked to a lot of people who suffer from this disorder. Many are struggling to find a way to cure their apnea and THROW AWAY their CPAP. But they're not getting much help from their doctors.

Many people have told me that they have been on CPAP for months, with no relief in their AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index). It's not just that CPAP is ineffective for some people. CPAP users suffer countless problems when using the machine. Here's just a few of the problems people have with CPAP:
  • Headache
  • Ear pressure
  • Nasal congestion
  • Dry mouth
  • Sinus problems
  • Claustrophobia
I know what you're thinking at this point. You're asking yourself "why is it so important to cure this disorder - I just want to get a better night's sleep so I don't feel so groggy during the day. Can't I just take some pills so I can get a better night's sleep and get on with my life?"

The fact is, sleep apnea can KILL YOU eventually. And I'm not just talking about the much higher chance that you'll be in a car crash if you have apnea (although that's definitely a factor). As stated by Dr. Michael J. Twery, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research:

"Sleep apnea is not a condition that kills you acutely. It is a condition that erodes your health over time."

Over time, this disorder has been proven to lead to a long list of nasty diseases.

According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, these are just some of the side effects of sleep apnea:

  • High blood pressure
  • Eye disorders, including glaucoma, conjunctivitis, and dry eye
  • Irregular menstrual periods
  • High-risk pregnancies
  • Liver damage
  • Seizures, epilepsy, and other nerve disorders
  • Diabetes
  • Kidney failure
  • Stroke
  • Heart failure
Bear in mind that 95% of the people who suffer from sleep apnea will continue to suffer with CPAP. But I don't think you would have read this far if you were the type of person to follow the crowd.
