Fascinating discussion on the science of sleep.
Hi Guys,
New to CPAP and new to this forum. I did ready the rules but I have a question.
I have been on CPAP for about 6 weeks. Anyway my son sent me a link to a podcast interview with a Neuro scientist and sleep expert, Matthew Walker. It was a fascinating discussion.
Am I allowed to post a link to the Podcast?
Thanks
RE: Fascinating discussion on the science of sleep.
As long as the link isn't to a commercial site (one that sells or advertises stuff) - and especially not to a Durable Medical Equipment supplier, You'll be OK.
If you still aren't sure, post it and ether a Monitor or Moderator will make the correction if necessary. New members are given (a little bit of ) leniency.

It is Joe Rogan interview (fyi some 4 letter words) with a with a Neuro Scientist and sleep expert, Matthew Walker. It was a fascinating discussion relating to the absolutely critical nature of sleep and the devastating impact poor sleep is having on most of our lives.
Thanks
RE: Fascinating discussion on the science of sleep.
I will watch the video later, but I want to mention that Matthew Walker has a book called "Why We Sleep" that is excellent - and doesn't have the four letter words...
RE: Fascinating discussion on the science of sleep.
Yeah Joe Rogan can be a bit rough - but he was able to elicit some really interesting responses - f-bombs aside fascinating discussion.

Very informative, thank you for sharing!!

Since being diagnosed with OSA, I find myself paying much more attention to every news item about some poor stressed-out driver falling asleep at the wheel of a car, a truck, a train ... there have been so many such incidents over the last N years, some of them involving passenger trains. It's just such a pity and such a waste. I also find myself wondering whether this has always been going on and I just didn't know about it, or whether we've got an epidemic of it now. With those incidents, in the followup news articles a few days later I'm never surprised now when the phrase "undiagnosed sleep apnea" is used; I just nod and shrug and say again "What a shame." It's all so preventable.
But I guess that's just stating the obvious. Personally, I am so glad to be On The Machine!

I fell asleep, I will have to watch it again!
Bad night last night.
I am NOT a doctor. I try to help, but do not take what I say as medical advice.
Every journey, however large or small starts with the first step.

It's OK just as long as you're not posting that using your phone from the driver's seat of your motor vehicle or passenger train.

Fats Drywaller,
Timur posted this link a while back.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4404207/
It discusses the prevalence of OSA in the general population. Basically it says that if you are male and over 30 years old you have an 83% chance of having OSA. If you are female it is somewhat better, but females catch up as they get older.
There is a lot of people with undiagnosed OSA.
