Sleep apnea is a major health condition affecting tens of thousands of truckers every year. The Back The Truck Up Podcast welcomes Dr. Karen Underwood of Resonea, a sleep apnea and wellness company, to discuss what causes sleep apnea, how to diagnose it correctly, and what can be done to not only stabilize your condition, but possibly reverse the effects.
Sleep apnea is a major issue plaguing not only truck drivers, but the general population as well. Understanding what causes sleep apnea, detecting it early, and getting a proper diagnosis and treatment is paramount for everyone.
Dr. Karen Underwood is a Board-certified physician representing Resonea, a company specializing in sleep apnea detection and monitoring. It’s Drowzle™️ PRO system is the the first FDA-cleared digital home sleep test for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). It works off your smartphone so there’s no need to worry about finding a place to park the truck for a sleep test.
The Back The Truck UP Podcast team knows about sleep apnea all too well. Both Rooster and Justin use CPAP devices every night to ensure they get a good night’s sleep. The guys talk with Dr. Underwood about recent developments in the recalls affecting users of some models.
We also discuss what sleep apnea sufferers can do to improve their quality of life and possibly reverse the damage sleep apnea causes. It is not an incurable condition, but improving one’s lifestyle while on the road is often seen as an impossible task. Exercise, maintaining a proper calorie intake, and getting enough restful sleep are keys to improving your chances of overcoming sleep apnea.
