To paraphrase the Talking Heads, “And you may find yourself, [waking up] behind the wheel of a large automobile”. But you are not alone. 40% of drivers in polls conducted by the National Sleep Foundation (2005) and others (Tefft, 2010; Gurubhagavatula, 2020) have admitted to nodding off or falling asleep in the prior year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (2011) has estimated that drowsy driving causes 83,000 crashes and more than 1,000 fatalities annually.

"What is a 'Circadian'?" That is the question we will be answering in this blog and many others over the coming months. 

It’s that time of year again, Baby Sleep Day! Of course, we don’t mean your baby should sleep all-day on March 1st, but this day is dedicated to focusing on the importance of a good night’s sleep for every baby and young child, as well as their family. Healthy sleep habits are important for these developing minds and help provide a brighter future for their sleep.

Last month, we posted a blog about the people who work at Circadiance and how they set this company apart from others. This week, we will introduce the next part of our Vision 2020 blog series: CULTURE. Culture inevitably goes hand-in-hand with who we are and what our vision is for the future. Company culture evolves everyday, but it is also guided to fit the vision of management. Below describes what our culture looks like and what we want to become.

Did you know that you have several options available when looking to buy a new CPAP mask? You can choose from a Durable Medical Equipment (DME) company, internet reseller, or a number of other sources. DMEs and internet resellers are the two most popular sources and will be our focus today.

At the end of 2019, we posted a blog that outlined the industry trends we anticipate for 2020 and how that will impact Circadiance for the years to come. Part of being ready to react to market and policy changes is having a solid sense of who we are as a company and what our vision is for the future. Throughout this year we will be posting about what sets our vision and our company apart from the rest. Our first focus is the most important of all—people. 

Most hospitals with labor and delivery capabilities are equipped to stabilize critical newborns, but not all hospitals can provide continuous care to this special population. In a hospital that is incapable of caring for these sick babies, they must rely on outside facilities to come and transport the infant to a hospital with a neonatal intensive care unit.

Ventilating premature babies is a science that researchers are constantly re-evaluating. Best practices are updated often while we try to find the best way to help this population breathe more easily, with the least amount of support. The most commonly used strategy right now is early CPAP, but at what cost?
