I have mild sleep apnea. (along with ~936 million people globally)
Despite optimizing my sleep routine using tools like the Oura Ring, I still noticed restless nights, even without apparent symptoms.
This left me wondering—what was really going on?
At a recent longevity conference, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Sahil Chopra, MD and Sagar Chopra, the co-founders of Empower Sleep. They introduced me to their clinically validated sleep ring, a device designed to identify hidden sleep issues and patterns.
Think of it as a portable sleep lab you can use at home—no bulky EEG headgear or sterile sleep clinics required.
Curious, I decided to give it a try (check out my video for a deeper dive).
The results were eye-opening. Empower Sleep revealed the underlying cause of my restless nights: frequent, asymptomatic oxygen desaturations caused by mild sleep apnea.
This insight was a game-changer for me, especially given my family history. My father, a surgeon with poor sleep habits and moderate sleep apnea, developed early-onset dementia—something I’m determined to avoid.
Now, with this newfound understanding, I’m taking proactive measures to address the underlying root causes and improve my long-term health.
This device is simple, easy to use, and potentially life-changing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to better understand their sleep patterns.
