    This is a terrible sales pitch!

    For Ensure maybe.

    Nick Offerman would be selling me quality woodworking tools at a fair price.

    It's tempting to go into a tirade about how the multi millionaire celebrities should have some compassion and I don't know, give everyone on Earth a CPAP machine, but that won't happen, so

    Shaq
    Michael Cera
    Eric Andre
    Amy Poehler
    Tina Fey
    Maya Rudolph
    Tom Holland
    Nick Offerman

    Shaq sounds like he needs a CPAP. I'd believe him if he told me he used one.

    I'm halfway convinced that ProZD does his junk food reviews as a form of dieting, because when he's done consuming twenty different flavors of chips and cookies he's well and truly sick of them

    If Werner Herzog burst into my room and divulged the futilities of life to me I’d probably buy an expensive breathing machine from him, no doubt.

    Got a Cpap in 2012.. who cares about dying to sleep apnea? The benefit to the cpap is that you actually sleep

    Hadn't realized I haven't been hitting stage 4 rem sleep since I was 17. Once I got used to wearing it, my physical and mental well being got better. Better sleep, more energy during the day, and less early morning depressive episodes

    Sleep apnea can kill you, but it won't. It isn't going to save you from living in this shitty world

    But canceling out the sleep apnea with a cpap will make your time here less shitty

    As someone who happens to work for a company that makes these machines, I applaud your collective interest in not micro-choking to death every night. (There are more diplomatic terms to use, but heeeeey.)

    It's true that patients generally don't get to choose which machine they get. Their doctor or group typically contracts with an HME and they in turn work with a manufacturer. The brand doesn't matter as much (though I sure have a preference) as that you get treatment if you're diagnosed with sleep apnea. The reputable manufacturers are all effective.

    If you have questions about diagnosis or treatment, I can either answer questions or talk to people who can.

    This, this, thissss

    @Raijin Quickfoot and anyone else needing one, don’t hesitate!

    It’s really hard to overstate the difference decent sleep can make to your sleep.

    And honestly the posts against cpaps on the basis of appearance leave a sour taste in my mouth... like they’re legitimately life-changing devices, get your heads out of your asses. Idgaf what I look like if I get a good night’s sleep

    (Oh and also don’t do what I did and use it for ten years before discovering that it has a filter and that the masks and pipes need to be periodically updated... lol)

    what's a CPAP machine

    it prevents you getting sleep apnea?

    why would a celebrity would be going on TV marketing a device to prevent you from getting sleep apnea? how many people actually have sleep apnea?

    anyway i don't think this will exist in the future

    Lots of people have sleep apnea they just arent aware or dont realize how serious it can be.

    It doesnt help that its expensive as shit to get a proper diagnosis

    Okay, I’m going to lay out some facts because joking or not, some of the posts in this thread are pissing me off.

    - sleep apnea is considered a common affliction. A quick google search of ‘what percentage of people have sleep apnea’ lists it as a common affliction in all age groups except for infants. That’s all age groups above the age of 3.
    - 22 million people in the US are estimated to have sleep apnea
    - It’s thought 80% of people with sleep apnea go undiagnosed
    - you can absolutely have sleep apnea and not be overweight. When I was diagnosed I was not overweight and for me it’s a physiological issue (I have a narrow throat/mouth). I’ve had friends whose toddlers and young kids have been diagnosed. Additionally, while the risk of sleep apnea does increase with obesity there’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation in that a) a lack of decent sleep is a big contributor to weight gain (which I have personally experienced, when I was unable to use my CPAP for a few years) and b) a lot of doctors don’t consider sleep apnea or refer someone to a sleep study until someone is overweight

    Like, sleep is so important! It affects so many things! Being sleep-deprived or getting poor sleep not only puts you at risk of ill health but also affects cognitive functions, energy levels, your overall ability to function... there’re also many other conditions besides sleep apnea that can affect your sleep levels and it’s just baffling that there’s such a stigma around getting help with sleep. I’ve seen people who are so reluctant or even scared to have a sleep study done. (Sleep studies absolutely do not hurt, btw!) I’ve also seen people who are genuinely insulted at the mere suggestion that they may snore or have sleep apnea.

    ...and that’s ridiculous. Even if you’re joking when you’d say you’d rather die than use a CPAP machine you’re potentially discouraging people from seeking help when they need it.
