Did you realise that we spend a third of our lives in bed? This is where our bodies are designed to regenerate and heal.
However, millions of Australians may be affected by a hidden sleep disorder that can affect our sleep quality and our bodies ability to fulfil this function. Sleep apnea often shows up as snoring, daytime fatigue or a grumpy bed partner.
Attributed to increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and dementia, sleep apnea often goes untreated. Left unchecked it can also impact your performance on the road.
Snoring and sleep apnea can lead to lower quality sleep, leaving you fatigued even after taking your designated breaks and getting the recommended amount of sleep per night.
Here’s some of the myths that hold people back from a better quality sleep:
Myth 1: It’s not sexy. Fact: A poll of grumpy bed partners revealed that using a quiet CPAP setup in the dark is sexier than an all night symphony of chainsaws.
Myth 2: CPAP machines are bulky. Truth: Modern devices are small, quiet and can offer instant results, which can be life-changing.
Myth 3: Treatment is complex. Reality: treatment can be complex if you try and do it by yourself, the CPAP Direct crew are experts in optimising therapy settings and configuration to be simple and easy.
