Does it have a battery life for that much wearing?
Ping!....................
My Apple Watch saved my life.
The wife always said I snored and she suspected I had sleep apnea. After I got my Watch I downloaded a sleep monitoring app to prove her wrong.
The app said I woke up many times during the night, something I had no recollection of.
So with this information in hand, I saw a sleep specialist, who set up a sleep study.
The results were surprising. I had an average of 93 apnea episodes an hour. Worse, they were a mix of obstructive and central apnea. Central Apnea is a neurological disorder when, basically, your brain forgets how to breath.
I was in imminent danger of dying every night and didn’t know it.
They have me on a CPAP machine now, assisted with oxygen, and I sleep like a baby, less than 5 episodes an hour on average.
Would have never done the sleep study had it not been for the Apple Watch.
So is this why people are standing in line at Apple stores? If not once this gets out the lines will be longer.
I didn’t see it but does the watch wake you up when it senses something wrong? That would be great for bed wetters.
This needs to be free to everyone.
Apple needs to give it away free.
About 3 weeks ago, I went to urgent care, and was diagnosed with bronchitis. They put me on steroids, antibiotics, and a couple decongestants. A couple days later, my resting heart rate went up to about 120, and my blood pressure was 219/144. I had taken the night time decongestant, and would have gone to sleep, if not for the annoying alarm on my new Apple Watch. It’s my first one, and I’d only been wearing it about a week. It took three days in the hospital to bring my vitals into the safe zone. If I’d gone to sleep that night, I think it would have been for the last time.
