Agreed, but the explosion in cases of sleep apnea is due solely to preventable health matters.

Never underestimate the power of the medical/pharmaceutical/industrial complex.

Did you ever hear of sleep apnea before the invention of CPAP machines?

Got that right. You forgot ‘government’. I have a collective tag for all of them in my book, my pet name.

Yes.

And people died of it.

It was known as "Pickwickian syndrome" in the nineteenth century and in the early twentieth was treated with tracheotomies.

Thankfully the CPAP was invented and they no longer had to cut a hole in your airway so you could breath at night.
