Sleep apnea is one of the most common sleep disorders that exist and one of the most under diagnosed generally in health. If you look at the numbers, about 30 million people only in the US suffer from sleep apnea. 80% of them are undiagnosed and untreated. So they carry this disease for many, many years. And we all know today that lack of sleep affects every aspect of your life. Wow. There is a big problem here that people kind of overlooked and is super important. So think about people that every day, every night, don't have good night's sleep. It's devastating. This leads to heart attacks, diabetes, you name it. This fact itself kind of, we call it like the silent killer. This is really striking me as something that we need to solve.
