Dr. John's Medical is an an organization that provides resources for truckers with sleep apnea who often struggle to get the sleep they need to do their routes. Dr. John recently published an excellent blog that we wanted to share with you. See what wisdom he has about sleep health below:

CPAP vs HFNC, an ongoing debate, but does it have to be one or the other? Many times CPAP is the first treatment to respiratory distress in the neonate, where HFNC is used frequently as a weaning tool. Providers make this decision based off of gestational age, diagnosis, and treatment history. Would HFNC be used more if it was easier to transition the patient with no loss of support? What if providers had a better idea of the pressure that was actually being generated by that flow? If you answered yes to either of these questions NeoPAP might be a solution for your NICU.

At Circadiance, we recognize the COVID-19 epidemic is causing interruptions across the healthcare spectrum that have not been seen in recent memory. Particularly in areas that have been defined as non-essential by the CDC.

At the beginning of 2020, we posted a blog that many people found helpful on how to get a CPAP mask. You can find that here. In recent days, this resource has become more relevant as the number of stores remaining open continues to dwindle. Even during this difficult time, there are still ways to get masks sent directly to your door…

Today, March 13, 2020, is World Sleep Day. Started in 2008, it was designed to raise awareness of sleep as a human privilege that is often compromised by the habits of modern life. By 2019, 58 countries had joined in the World Sleep Day movement (www.worldsleepday.org) to further promote the messages of health and sleep and how they go ‘hand in hand’.

We are excited to announce that we have a new SleepWeaver product available starting today. The SleepWeaver 3D Starter Kit is the latest solution from Circadiance, designed to increase first-time compliance by giving users more fitting options for their first fit. This package features the best PAP comfort and technology on the market.

One of the biggest and most effective tools we humans have to fight health conditions is the power of human connection. Which is why “AWARENESS” campaigns are so important. They rally us together, sharing education and creating that ripple effect of positivity and empowerment.

This annual event celebrates Sleep Health and is intended to encourage the public to prioritize sleep to help us, as individuals, to protect our overall health and well-being.

William Golding once said, “Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.” Once thought to be a period when the brain and body shut down, we now know that sleep is very much a psychologically and physiologically active time. Sleep serves to keep the brain and body in a state of balance; and it affects everything from memory consolidation and body temperature regulation to mood and concentration, cardiac function and insulin sensitivity.
