KazinatorI saw an obnoxiously scammy ad for a D**ila E**o #SleepApnea pillow. So to spite them, I immediately ordered an exact knock-off from AliExpress for 1/4 of their "discounted" price.
So, did the #Ad work or not?
Dr. Or M. BialikI think we can all agree that sleep is important. But messed-up sleep, where one stops breathing (sleep apnea), is kind of bad and (atop everything else) can also cause memory impairments.

ImmedicableMEHad another sleep study. I now have sleep apnea—which is severe enough to qualify me for a CPAP, but only if I had commercial insurance. According to Medicare, I don’t stop breathing quite enough to qualify.
Sleep apnea increases with age. It seems like it would be smart, cost-effective preventive medicine to reduce cardiac stress and potentially prevent a cardiac event. I’m having a hard time making this make sense.

Michael HorneWas doing so well with the old #sleepapnea tonight. Only woke once at 3.30am, comfort break, swig of water, back to sleep... Lay there for 15 minutes trying to get comfortable...the effort of which woke me up properly, so I'm now downstairs with the dog on my lap feeling vaguely pissed off.
Ho hum.
I know other people have bigger problems, but I do object and feel depressed about not sleeping through the night for...yikes...15 years. Can't be good for me!

GregSleep apnea episodes up to well over 10 an hour over the last few days. This is not good as I'm supposed to be at 5 or less. I've been averaging 3. I'm not sure what's going on, but it ain't good. Hoping to not pop my clogs during the night. Might not be found for a month of Sundays... #sleepApnea #SleepApnoea
Olivia HoodAn Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (APAP) device adjusts airflow in real time to keep your airways open all night long 🌙💨. It learns your breathing patterns and adapts as you move, change sleep stages, or experience airway blockage — giving you a smoother, more comfortable sleep 🛌💙

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Two Sleep Issues Multiply Your Cardiovascular Risks Wait—this isn’t just about feeling tired the next day. A new peer-reviewed study by sleep researchers at Yale School of Medicine, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association shows that veterans with both insomnia and sleep apnea face dramatically higher cardiovascular risks. Researchers followed nearly 1 million U.S. veterans receiving care through the Veterans Health Administration. Here’s what they found: • People with both insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea have more than a 2 fold higher risk of developing hypertension. • Their risk of cardiovascular disease is nearly 4× higher. • Having both sleep disorders is far more dangerous than having either one alone. • The increased risk appears in both men and women. Why this matters for you: Millions of people think poor sleep is just annoying, but untreated sleep disorders may quietly raise your risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. What are the signs of disordered sleep? Loud snoring that wakes your partner, waking up gasping, or repeated problems falling asleep. If this sounds like you, speak with your medical team about sleep and cardiovascular evaluations The references for this report are available on my website. #SleepApnea #Insomnia #HeartHealth #SleepScience #Hypertension"
