I have a 19 year old and a 16 year old I'd like to be fully, you know, aware of and available if they have children, to be able to be a grandparent, as odd as that may seem to me. But I want my mental health, my clarity, because that helps me take care of my, you know, team my patients, myself, and look forward to the rest of my life. So I've made a big deal about sleep and sleep apnea and maybe let us know your thoughts about that. I feel like it's an underappreciated problem.
Yes. I have several measuring device. I use the Oura Ring when I go to sleep. I do use the Apple Watch. And the Apple Watch has a health app as well as apps. So I basically compare three parameters, the Apple Health Watch, the SleepWatch, and the Aura Ring. Their sleep metrics.
