A better night sleep without a hose.
This solution is for every one else!
Decades ago, someone invented the snooze alarm. Clever, but it does not fix the problem.
So, I have an alternate solution to an age-old problem that is too easy.
So first, here is the solution, then I will do the explanation.
Yes, this is backwards than those dumb infomercials because I am not trying to sell you anything.
This is about changing the environment in which you sleep.
So tonight, place a small low speed fan on your night stand and point it at the airspace just in front of your face.
You do not need a tornado! just a slight gentle breeze. A small low speed fan.
Too much air will dry out your mouth. So, have a water bottle handy.
That simple.
So, what is the problem?
Many go to bed at night and close their bedroom door for privacy.
They close their bedroom window to keep the weather or bugs out.
They crawl under their covers, curl up, and go to sleep in a sealed still room.
They lay there not moving until daybreak.
They breath in and out, in and out, in and out.....
A stale cloud of air builds in front of their faces.
They exhale 100 times more CO2 than they took in on each breath.
10 breaths is 1000 times, 100 breaths is 10,000 times more CO2.
They lay there in this still stale air for 6 to 8 or more hours.
It is this small micro environment, filled with CO2 that needs to be blown away.
All you need is fresh air, to sleep better not stale air.
Now CO2 is not lethal, but high levels of CO2 make you feel awful and tired.
It is well known that high levels of CO2 makes you lethargic.
It creates the inability to wake up in the morning.
Snooze alarm fixes what?
Not being a morning person is excess CO2 in your system.
It does take a while to get all that extra CO2 out of your system.
Coffee anyone?
When you lay on your back, with your head on a pillow. It forces your chin on your chest.
When you lay on your side, you curl up, and put your chin on your chest.
This restricts your airway.
In CPR, the second thing you learn is to open the airway, by tilting the head back.
There are neck pillows that will create this posture when you are on your back.
You need to learn to not curl up on your side but to put your head back, a little, as if you were looking at the sky.
This will open your airway more so that you can breathe easier.
My brother and two brothers-in-law are on CPAP machines.
They all told me that it really helps them sleep better. ??
I think that having a hose shoved up my nose would be very uncomfortable and a bit over kill.
There must be a better way. Air is elastic. Hmm.
The first time I put a simple low speed fan on my night stand to just blow away my exhaled air,
The next morning my eyes popped open. I was wide awake and my head was clear.
I even felt better.
Now, every morning I jump out of bed.
I did not do that before.
So, tomorrow morning see if the same happens to you.
I am an outdoorsman. For the last 55 years I refused to sleep in a stuffy tent.
I have always slept outdoors under an open tarp or weather permitting just under the stars.
Every automobile has a fan that blows air in your face when you drive.
Every bed headboard needs to have a small quiet fan to help you sleep.
Open your windows and let in some fresh air, this will help too.
If you do have a real airway obstruction, you may still need CPAP.
CPAP is an intensive care unit (ICU) solution.
CPAP is a closed loop system and requires complex controls.
A fan is an open loop system. Simple.
This fan solution will help the rest of us who need a better night’s sleep.
If you want a smaller fan than you have, then look for a USB fan that could be plugged into the extra socket on your phone charger.
Also, they only consume 2 to 5 watts of power. So, they will run all night on a very small battery.
I even have a tiny fan on my desk at work for the same reason.
I am not selling anything here, as small fans are aplenty everywhere.
I will not make a dime off this, except the satisfaction that I did the right thing to share my idea with you.
So, turn on a small low speed fan in your bedrooms and let’s change the world.
You will know by tomorrow morning when you jump out of bed.
If it works then tell your friends.
Don't breathe stale air.

P.S.
Alzheimer’s might not be a disease, rather it maybe the result of very long-term exposure to this micro environment.
