A story about sleep

You slept eight hours.
So why are you still tired?

You went to bed at ten. You woke at six. And you feel like you've been awake the whole time. The coffee isn't working anymore.

Here's something nobody told you: the problem might not be how long you sleep. It might be what's happening while you do.

Sound familiar?

The signs people miss for years

Most snorers never hear themselves. They just feel the result the next day.

01

You wake up unrefreshed

Seven or eight hours in bed, and it still feels like you barely slept.

02

Your afternoons crash

The 3pm slump arrives earlier every week, and coffee barely touches it.

03

Someone mentions the noise

A partner, a roommate, a hotel neighbour. Or the spare room gets used more than it should.

04

Dry mouth or headaches

Waking with a parched mouth or a dull morning headache can come from breathing through your mouth all night.
