Dr. Burhenne discusses his own personal experience with sleep apnea that led him to write his best-selling book, The 8-Hour Sleep Paradox. He gets into the heavy issues of his book and explains how the effects of sleep apnea and other sleep disorders and issues can leave people feeling less than their best, and can impact health negatively. If you wake up exhausted every morning in spite of your regular 7-8 hours of sleep, if you regularly make excuses for your lack of energy, if you snore so loud that you could wake your neighbors next door, grind your teeth, etc., you could be suffering from a sleep problem that needs further review.
