Quotes by Alex Brecher (?)

“Obstructive Sleep Apnea — When you have obstructive sleep apnea, you stop breathing for seconds or even minutes while you are sleeping. Usually, you stop each episode by snorting or coughing yourself awake. The cycle can repeat itself five to 30 times per hour throughout the night.”

“meals with high-calorie beverages, appetizers, sides, and desserts that we absolutely do not need. And, of course, there’s the famous “all-you-caneat,” which can easily turn into a sort of frantic frenzy to make sure it’s worth the money – at the cost of your weight, health, and dignity Source31”

“Sleep apnea is not just an effect of obesity. It can also contribute to obesity as part of a vicious cycle. You are more likely to gain weight when you have sleep apnea, and being overweight makes your sleep apnea worse.”
