At this point most people have heard of sleep apnea. They're aware that it's a problem they're hesitant to come in because they don't want to. They don't want to goin to see a sleep doctor.They don't want to go into a sleep laboratory. They don't want to spend overnight hooked up with wires and having people watching them sleep and they are concerned about if they have sleep apnea what this might mean whether or not they're going to have to have a mask on their face. Whether or not they're going to have to have surgery to take care of the problem. Look I am a neurologist, and I am a sleep specialist, but I too have had many friends and family that I have personally said look you need to take care of your sleep apnea and you're going to be feeling a lot better. So, for those of you who are hesitant and have resisted getting this evaluated you are in very good company. That is why we built GEM SLEEP, to help you go through the process of evaluation and treatment and is the reason why we came up with a support system to help you sleep better.
