Fat guy:"Thanks Joe. Joe: "Have you ever tried DMT?" Fat guy: what? Joe: "Chimps will eat your f*cking face bro" FG: huh??? Joe:"Fu&king bears will eat you a$$ first"
Vitamin D deficiency causes sleep apnea.Get your levels checked and buy D3 its more absorbable than D2 that the dr usually prescribes.Of course change your diet as well to a healthy one.
Yep. And planes make SA even worse. Years before I ever had problems with sleep on the ground, and got diagnosed with SA I knew that I could never sleep on a plane as I'd drift off and 2 minutes later snap awake, gasping for breath and high on adrenaline from my body panicking from lack of oxygen.
Do you know this mouthpiece that he's referring to? My husband has tried a lot of different things with no success and refuses to see a doctor(he has white coat anxiety)
@Andrew Tol Could be a mandibular advancement device. I had one before switching to full mask APAP. Works pretty good but may cause tmj pain. It also helps with keeping the mouth shut during sleep.

I have sleep apnea. I just got diagnosed this year but suspected it for many years. Knowing what I know now, I actually think I had it my entire life. I can’t use a cpap (hate it) so I use a sleep apnea mouth device. I’m 3-4 months in and my quality of sleep lately is amazing. I never knew that you could wake up NOT tired. Not looking forward to bed the moment you wake up. Not randomly falling asleep. Having no energy. Even as a teen I craved sleep. I now feel refreshed. I have energy. Not as much brain fog. I don’t wake up with headaches every day. I feel so much better.
I have the same problem. Cpap just doesn't work for me. What alternative device worked for you? I actually bought a double sport mouthpiece and tried to boil mold it to make the bottom.half jut out very slightly. I've done quite a bit of study on nose breathing so the mouthpiece permitted no mouth breathing. Great idea except I couldn't fall asleep with it and more or less wussed out because I didn't have that much confidence in my own contraption. I have heard there are similar items out there but the only ones I have found are on late night infomercials. Any help would be appreciated. TU.
@@stevefirst1512 I went to a sleep apnea dentist! They made a mouthpiece that is designed for me and helped me to find the level of pushing my jaw forward that is most ideal. I’d highly recommend seeing one in your area!
My first sleep test...stopped breathing 536 times in 7hrs. I thought it was my prostate issues I kept getting up for but no I was choking to death and that was just one night
I was in same boat with how many times I stop breathing in a night. One night I did stop breathing, had no air left in my lungs. My dog in the picture knew I had stopped breathing and she shoved her nose in my side and got me awake. When I woke I was gasping to get air back in my lungs. It took like 10 minutes to get a normal pattern back. She my guardian angel. I am not overweight. But I have since quit drinking alcohol and improved my diet. No longer need my CPAP.
Yea i lost a bunch of weight to control mine but when i was in bad shape i was in _bad_ shape. I used to not only get woken up by my apnea i would then proceed to full on sleep walk into shit
@@FartInYourFace234 I have severe sleep apnea. I’m a pretty fit guy. 5’11”/170lbs. Exercise x5 a week. It’s not an overweight thing for me. I’ve had it all my life.
Sadly it is not one of the most downplayed conditions. I have the most ignored condition in western medicine and a few other rare ones. Most doctors will blush off anything that's somewhat complicated or "rare". I also have sleep apnea though, and no one's done anything about it yet. I'm not saying it's not ignored but there are lots of conditions that doctors try to act like aren't a big deal. But they really are. It's all very sad.
I'm that guy from the flight ! Thank you Joe. Changed my life. I've since lost 25 lbs and gotten fitted for a breathing apparatus. I feel 1000% better. Can sleep a sold night and wake up refreshed.
I'm a RN. I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. I believe I had it since 2nd grade. It virtually ruined my life. I never did the sounds or snoring. My body would just wake me so I'd wake 100s of times a night and then as part of routine preop tests for a cosmetic procedure at age 39 they required a sleep study. I had 318 times I stopped breathing. Woke 248x. Pulse ox 71%. My whole life my quality of life has sucked from fatigue, feeling crappy all the time, etc. I went to doctor after doctor w my laundry list of problems and they either dismissed it or acted as if I was a drug seeker. Or they'd put me on a bunch of meds that never helped. Since I didn't snore...literally NOONE ever did a sleep study on me and I suffered my whole life for it.
Are you in the United States, or in a country with socialized medicine? I'm an RPSGT, and in the US, it's taken very seriously. In socialized medicine countries, you could very well hit a dead-end wall and never get the help you need.
As a Sleep Technician for the last 23 years, I SO appreciate you showing concern and giving sound, firm advice, Joe. I really hope he listened to you and took it seriously. He can easily die in his sleep of a heart attack (but secondarily caused by obstructive sleep apnea). I've used CPAP myself for 14 years, and good for you in getting that special mouthpiece!
I have sleep apnea, and my machine broke and I was sleeping at my mother's house and she said she had to go in my room she said I sounded like I was literally choking to death and then several seconds would go by and she would hear me gasping for air. I immediately made a new appointment for a new sleep study, because I was wondering why I literally could not stay up during the day would fall asleep after I've been up for only an hour, and literally could not remember anything anyone said 5 minutes after having a conversation with them. Sleep apnea stresses to heart, and it really ruins the quality of life, to the point where you are so tired during the day you can't enjoy anything. That was really nice of Joe Rogan to help that man out.
When I started having to take strong painkillers for my spinal issues, I developed sleep apnea, which I didn't know about until my ex told me that she was waking up in the night because I hadn't breathed for up to 30 seconds. Some nights she was actually crying because of the sound of some of the breaths I was taking. Getting checked for sleep apnea was the best decision I ever made. In the years since I got it, I went through a period of not using it every night because of little personal issues, but once I started using it every night the changes were enormous. There have only been 2 occasions since I started using it every night when I wasn't able to use it, both occasions lasted 2 nights, and I'm not exaggerating or trying to sound overly dramatic when I say that I genuinely felt myself regressing back to feeling the early signs of depression and my spinal issues were made to feel way worse because of all of the rolling around in the night.
I learned the hard way to bring spare supplies on trips. It was a three day trip and on night one, my mask tore. I couldn't get supplies anywhere and it was a miserable three days. Now on any trip, it's spare filters, spare mask, spare hose, spare adapter for the hose. I also bring an extension cord to be sure I can reach an outlet.
My ex husband used to do that and he would get so defensive and angry when i would tell him he had to go to the doctor. I was suffering too because i couldnt sleep because of the bear next to me. I video taped him and i showed him articles of the health dangers and after a long time, i mean years of this, he finally got his machine and now he will not go wothout it.
Dunno the finer details of your life, but just going off a shallow look. But down, I wonder how one can no longer be together with the spouse who helped saved my life and improve my quality of life. I get other things could happen to sour the relationship, but that's a huge moment I would be hard pressed to walk away from
My bestie and my auntie both got on CPAPs, changed their life. My bestie had a total personality change, becoming a more patient and easygoing person. If snoring is an issue, get it taken care of ASAP.
As a person with sleep apnea - ABSOLUTELY TRUE I had undiagnosed sleep apnea for a year. My first night sleeping with a machine was basically the first night I had slept in a year. I cried the next morning, I literally didn't remember what it was like to get a night's sleep. My health has improved dramatically!
My dentist told me I had a small mouth and a big tongue and he couldn't diagnose , but he'd bet money I had sleep apena and should go get tested. Had a slow start with the machine but yes, felt like you really weren't sleeping before
@Abe Froman the pressure they started me off at was so low it did t really work and I was taking it off after a hour. I adjusted the pressure up one every night until it got better
i have severe sleep apnea but cant use a cpap i tried it for a month and it gave me very bad symptoms of aerophagia like bad loss of appetite and diherea etc it also gives me too much anxiety esp with the philips recall and the cancer causing foam all cpaps use foam and that scares me ima try the oral appliance see if it helps@@leanntaylor7478
My mom had a sleep study done, too, and she was diagnosed as only getting the equivalent of 4 hours of sleep a night due to sleep apnea. (Plus she'd snored heavily) She had complained of always being tired during the day, plus she got headaches often. After she was prescribed a sleep apnea machine, it reversed the problem completely. 😊😴
He’s so right. My mom is a sleep study tech and it can truly change your life. And not just to help you get a good night’s sleep. It also contributes to many other conditions like blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease among other things. The lack of oxygen actually kills your brain cells as well. And for those that think you will be uncomfortable wearing the mask to sleep the difference it makes in your quality of sleep makes it where it’s welcome. My step dad eagerly uses his for every little nap he takes. They also have pillows with a cut out for the hose that makes it more comfortable if you’re a side sleeper. If you have issues please do yourself a favor and get tested!
I once started getting sleep apnea when I was a little overweight and once I lost that little bit of extra weight (from 215 down to under 200), my breathing problems stopped completely. Since then, I've kept my weight around 180-190 and I don't have those breathing issues anymore. I understand not every case is cut and dry, though.
My sleep doc told me my sleep apnea isn't because I'm fat, its because of my jaw/throat/tongue lay out. He called me a "natural". Tongue too big, throat too small.
I have sleep apnea myself, but didn’t understand the seriousness of it till last year, when a coworker passed. He forgot to put on his cpap, stopped breathing and went in to cardiac arrest and past in his sleep. Like Joe said, get medical attention, cause your life depends on it.
I'm sorry about your coworker. My sleep center told me sleep apnea is like having little heart attacks every night. I've never missed a nap or night without my machine after that. I don't think people realize how serious it really is. They just think, oh I snore loud.
My healthcare proffesional told me that its like having a series of mini strokes during sleep. No wonder I felt like shit for years before I was diagnosed.
The CPAP won’t keep you from stop breathing, it just helps prevent the stoppage. My wife saves my life about every six months when I stop breathing and don’t wake up. I’m scared to use my CPAP though because it’s harder for her to hear me making the same noises Joe is describing.
This hit me really hard. When I was 3 years old riding a tricycle I was ran over by a truck. I broke both my left and right collarbones, my left wrist, I had 2nd degree road rash on the entirety of my left face as I was dragged on concrete before the driver stopped. But the worst thing that happened was breaking my nose. Upon arrival to the hospital I was immediately rushed into surgery where I underwent 4 hours of operations battling for my life. Because of the horrible shape I was in the doctors were only able to preform operations that were absolutely necessary for my survival as additional surgery’s would actually put me in even more danger. One of those injuries they didn’t fix at the time was my broken nose. Because I was so young, growth occurs quickly. So by time they were able to fix my nose without jeopardizing my life the septum of my nose was touching the inside of my left nostril blocking off my airway. As a result of this I can hardly breath out of the left side of my nose so I snore loudly because it’s not possible to stop. I have underwent 5 deviated septum surgeries to try and open my nose more so I could breath better but none of them worked. (The breathing machine also didn’t help). Sleep Apnea is the worst. Not only does it make falling sleep hard, it makes staying asleep hard as well. But above all this the worst part was the insecurities it left me with. In 3rd grade we took a nap in class for 30 minutes as a reward for something by the teacher and I was very excited but then when the time came for the nap I started snoring and I was made fun of for it. It really hurt my feelings to know I wasn’t ‘normal’ because of something outside of my control
Dude honest to God!!! I was walking across a main street at night, got hit, broke my leg and had that weird metal cage on it. Broke my eye socket and pinched my optic nerve and im permanently blind in my left eye and every single time I say I care more about my damn nose break than my eye. I'm hacking up mucus every damn two seconds or I just gag and that ain't fun for anyone in the damn room.. best wishes on your end man.
@@noahlaizer7434 you to bro! Luckily I didn’t have any other lasting injuries other than the issue with my nose I hope you weren’t permanently messed up worse haha
i have been on a CPAP SINCE 1999. when i got my sleeping under control i lost almost 100 pounds in four months. a balanced sleep is so important, get yourself checked out it will change your life. god bless.
Sleep, breathing, and lastly fat composition. If you don't have these three things in order you'll never be healthy is what I live by. I think people really underestimate how vital sleep is to living a good life.
Rogan's not kidding at all. My C-pap machine has completely changed my life. I went from nodding out sitting in traffic, or in meetings, to having complete attention at everything I do now.
As a sleep apnea sufferer myself, I can say without a doubt, the best thing that man could do is take Joe’s advice!!! Having sleep apnea & using a c-pap makes a night & day difference!!! The only way I know how to explain it is, being able to actually get restful sleep! And not wake up tired!!!
Ya, I guarantee the guy knew he had OSA before Joe mentioned it. Most ppl who *definitely* have it, already know... They just aren't willing to wear a CPAP. 🤷
This video literally changed my life. I'm 38 and I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2021 and haven't had a good night's sleep since until 2 night's ago. Because of this video I went and bought the Zsilent and have be sleeping great ever since. I now feel rested and energized when I wake up plus I have energy throughout the day. My libido is back to normal with morning erection etc. I can't wait to see the long term effects. Thus product is worth every penny.
My dad used to freak us out. He refused to believe us till we filmed him. Dude freaked out so bad he ditched work and went to specialist. Changed his life. Dude actually had a physical transformation.
Oh man, I can’t imagine the wake up call that was for him. It must have been painful for him to see that, which is good because it lights a fire under your ass and makes you get medical treatment.
My 1st night with CPAP I woke up feeling I'd had the best night's sleep of my life. I had slept one hour! I woke up 2 hours later again feeling I'd had a great night's sleep. Again about 4 hours later, and finally after another 3 hours. So in one night I'd had 4 of the best, most restful nights of sleep I could remember! CPAP is WORTH it if you need it!
I have sleep apnea & have had a cpap machine for 3 years. It changed my life. I thought I was a good sleeper. Husband said I was a violent sleeper where he'd get up and move rooms. Once I put the mask on, I'm out w/in minutes, no joke. First night I slept 9 hours. I had the best sleep ever. No embarrassment from me either.
@@MandelaFreeman If you have sleep apnea you don’t get good sleep. You’re always tired. You start thinking this tiredness is normal. Once you start using a CPAP you’re finally able to go into deep sleep again since you don’t stop breathing 100 times per night. Your energy level increases significantly.
@@clickbait8481 dude I've been taking iron pills for years because I thought that's why I was so tired all the time. I've had really bad sleep apnea since I was 15 and I'm now 30. I've been woken up by many women who thought I died in my sleep because they just turned over and I wasn't breathing for way too long. Reading this is big news for me
@@MandelaFreeman first step is talking to your doctor. To get the machine you have to have a sleep study done. For me, that was just a kit I took home and hooked myself up for a night so it could monitor me. If you’re confirmed to have sleep apnea, then a sleep doctor can get a machine for you. Sleep studies used to be very expensive, but the at home ones are quite economical. As I recall, the machine was around $600, but they spread they payments out so it’s not too bad.
I sleep with a CPAP ( Constant Positive Air Pressure) machine. Had sleep studies to readjust the pressure. Before I was diagnosed by my DOCTOR, I always wondered why my Bouvier would bark in my face when I fell asleep in my chair. Interrupted sleep ruins your life.
My dad has this too. The doctor gave him a little monitor to go home and sleep with and it recorded that he stopped breathing 60 times in one night of sleep.
@@loftasleep yes but the doctor told him if he doesn’t cut back on his diet which is mostly beer, it’s not going to help much. He’s not even really obese which is the weird thing. He’s just out of shape with a beer belly.
Apnea is no joke. 84 full Apnea episodes an hour and countless partials here. It does make a difference to see a Dr and have that sleep study. With my cpap I have less headaches, I don't fully wake up in the llnight as I used to, I get more sound and restful sleep, I have more energy, my appetite has evened out, I don't feel the need to snack as often for energy. I'm less irritable, it's been a life changer. If anyone has ever told you that you snore or breath funny when asleep, speak to someone. Apnea in some cases can be life threatening.
@DerekMoore82 also, you should really be breathing through your nose. You might try a chin strap to help keep your mouth closed at night. I've been through all the trial and errors!
Just did a sleep study a week or so ago. Turns out I have a mild to moderate case of it... when I lie on my back, which is my preferred sleeping position. I'm 190 pounds at 5' 10", so I am about 10 lbs overweight, but by no means am I obese. I was waking up so many times during the night and had no idea why.
Bro, I'm like 5'10-, 5'10.5 and jist under 190 lbs. I'm in great shape same deal with me. But I'm a stomach sleeper but when I wake up I'm almost always on my back. That's the problem. Then my jaw relaxes and hangs and cuts off my airway
Got a CPAP when I was 18. Gave me the energy to start training. Now at 19, I’ve lost 65kg (160lbs), started running and long distance hiking. The CPAP changed my life, hopefully I will be able to live without it once my weight is average.
A few years ago I participated in a Sleep Study for the VA, and they told me I had Sleep Apnia, and stopped breathing average of every 12 minutes while in REM sleep. They gave me a Ventilator. OMG. It made such a difference to my energy! I felt 20 years younger immediately, just being able to actually sleep stress free all night
It’s not just over weight..UK has been doing study’s showing the tonsils get in gorged/over sized & need to be removed. They remove tonsils for kids for this reason but prefer to sell machines to adults. C-pap machines come with issues to. Remove tonsils..it’s easier! 😁👍
I had the same thing in my hospital room. The guy was snoring loud and would stop breathing for what seemed like forever,so much so I called the nurse in. They said unfortunately this happens and walked off. So when the guy finally woke up I told him about it and that he should get checked for sleep apnea. He said he didn't have a clue that he was doing it, and that his wife has had an appointment for herself at the sleep clinic. He then made an appointment for himself as well.
I was starting to have issues with sleeping due to my weight. If I slept on my back I would wake myself up from snoring/catching my breath. I’m 5’10 and weighed about 330 pounds. I’m down to 220 now and haven’t had problems with sleeping since I got below 300, I’ve also stopped snoring entirely according to my fiancé. I don’t think that’s considered sleep apnea, I guess i was just too fat to sleep lmao
@@pattygravs6354 I switched to a much more physical job and that definitely played a role in how quickly I lost the weight but I definitely contribute most of my progress to diet.
It was sleep apnea. Ppl get misled and think when they have it they gotta buy a alien machine and keep it forever. Nah take care of yourself in all aspects sometimes it’s the Brian that Causes it but in most cases wit young people it’s cause YOUR FAT
My Father had sleep Apnea he didn't know about it. Very cocky respectful Man he wasn't disrespectful with anyone unless you challenged his family or hurt someone he loved obviously his family. If you know anime or what have you he was like Vegeta very prideful but he knew when and how to speak to people. I miss this Man very much. Passed away due to liver cancer before I can graduate highschool. But I'd always hear him wake up like he would be suffocating or drowning. Sleep apnea is no joke please if you or you know someone that has it please refer them to a doctor.
Both of my kids have sleep apnea, but not me. It runs on dad's side. I just got my daughter evaluated for it, she has enlarged tonsils which they believe are causing it. Waiting for the referral to come in from the ENT dept to schedule her tonsillectomy. She's so tired all the time and wakes up with headaches regularly. Her brother has the same issue, they say his tonsils are enlarged too, but I'll wait to see how she does first before I schedule him, she's 12 and he's 7.
Been on CPAP for 3yrs now. I would wake up and feel like I was being choked or drowning. Turns out I had severe sleep apnea. It’s does change your life for the better once you get it fixed.
Hi, I might have sleep apnea as well as i snore a lot according to my girlfriend. I actually saw some videos about the CPAP machine, isn't it uncomfortable to sleep with? You gotta carry it around with you on business trips/vacations as well?
just went to a rehab for physical therapy and my roommate had that and more. I told the nurses but noone did anything about it and she was not the type you could speak to about much so I did let her leave without suggesting she get help. she was very nasty in other ways, so I was glad when she left. mom and I bought coat buttons to sew on Dad's pajama backs. it worked for awhile, the buttons dig into his spine when he rolled onto his back, so he'd roll back over to his side, but it eventually got so bad nothing but the mask and oxygen helped. he was a Pearl Harbor Survivor, by the way.
@@steviegonzales2348 brrrrrrruuuuuuh. I've just woke people up laughing. I was reading this thinking, I don't want to be rude or insensitive, but what the fuck... Or maybe I'm just tired... So I went to re-read it but seen your comment. Fucking snotted everywhere trying not to laugh
I'm in a rehab right now and my roommate never sleeps. Oh, he snores A LOT and he's either in a bad mood or you can sense on the edge of exploding. We've never said a word to each other. I was told that this room was his last chance or he would be kicked out. We're both being discharged about the same time.
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I got my CDL. That machine was a nightmare in my life. And after I went and got a negative test from a lab the sleep apnea company refused to accept it and forced me to keep using it.. I had to go get a new medical card to remove that nightmare out my life. In my personal experience this diagnosis are more scams than anything else. I don't denied it does exist but it has become a business more than actually help the patient.
I'm 5'9" and 190 and have had cpap machine for 2 years. Love it so much. I have to sleep on my side though because if I sleep on my back I still snore even with the CPAP on.
My best friend of 11 years passed away in his sleep from sleep apnea, his heart just stopped. I told him 1 year prior I was extremely concerned for his health. He didn’t take it serious 😢 He was 47 years old with 7 yr old daughters when he passed. Still learning how to live with this grief
My uncle died in his sleep from sleep apnea. He didn't go to the doctor and my aunt would beg him. One morning, he just didn't wake up. It was so tragic.
My brother was a star lacrosse player. 2% body fat, six pack, strong. He snored so loud I could hear him downstairs. It’s not only for fat people…though weight never helps.
I agree with you 100% Joe Rogan I have sleep apnea myself and before I was using my machine I actually had fluids oozing out in my legs after using it within about a month month and a half somewhere in there swelling started going down I started growing hair back on my legs even answered on my toes first Andy fluids head stopped and yes you're definitely right it will make a difference nacho people all the time anyway great videos Man please give up the good work thank you for sharing with us brother. 👍👍🙏
My sister was diagnosed by a visiting nurse who was taking care of her mother-in-law. When the results came back from her sleep study they told her she quit breathing 96 times every hour! Severe!!
I have sleep apnea. Because of the discomfort the mask and system causes I went 10 days without sleep. Day 11 I didn't wear the mask and slept like a baby.
@@slc308 same here.. the mask works great when I first put it on, and then a few hours later I wake up gasping for air and then realized I don't feel any air coming in through the mask. Took it off and the next morning I took it back and told my doctor this cpap is crap, and then was told there's nothing else he could do or suggest.
@@dominicfrost8627 There is an array of different masks that you can try and eventually you find one that is comfortable and the right size. Not sure why you wouldn't be getting any air, either the hose was crimped somewhere, or the machine auto turned off. Many have auto-start/stop features you can try disabling them likely the mask wasn't fitted well enough so it thought you took the mask off and turned itself off.
Had a nurse listening to me one night doing the exact same thing at a caravan park Luckiest thing ever. Life changing. Still remember sitting having a coffee and she came up and asked " are you the gentleman that snores?" I laughed at first until she told me I'd stop breathing for a few minutes before gasping for air. She saved my life ❤
I have it too. At first I went thru denial but then I realized how much better I felt throughout the day. Like Joe says it will change your life. If you think you have it pl go to a doctor
I have sleep apnea, when i was a baby i stopped breathing at nigth, and i talk and sleepwalk very often, but now i can wake myself up when i stop breathing, when i was a baby i couldn’t do that, now Im a healthy young man💪🏽
As someone with sleep apnea I have gained new respect for Joe. People do not realise how much embarrassment and suffering we go through if left untreated. Not to mention if left untreated can reduce your life span by a lot
Could you imagine waking up and having Joe Rogan suddenly giving you medical advice. You'd think you were still dreamin.
Imagine having a sleep paralysis episode and you open your eyes to Joe Rogan crouched at the foot of your bed doing his bear roar 😳

Yep. And planes make SA even worse. Years before I ever had problems with sleep on the ground, and got diagnosed with SA I knew that I could never sleep on a plane as I'd drift off and 2 minutes later snap awake, gasping for breath and high on adrenaline from my body panicking from lack of oxygen.
Not entirely out of his control. Although sleep apnea can happen to anyone, being overweight is the single biggest factor.
Nah...I'm willing to bet that guy fell right back asleep and started snoring loud af
As a sleep tech, I appreciate his advocacy for sleep apnea. Well done, Joe

I have the same problem. Cpap just doesn't work for me. What alternative device worked for you? I actually bought a double sport mouthpiece and tried to boil mold it to make the bottom.half jut out very slightly. I've done quite a bit of study on nose breathing so the mouthpiece permitted no mouth breathing. Great idea except I couldn't fall asleep with it and more or less wussed out because I didn't have that much confidence in my own contraption. I have heard there are similar items out there but the only ones I have found are on late night infomercials. Any help would be appreciated. TU.
@@stevefirst1512 I went to a sleep apnea dentist! They made a mouthpiece that is designed for me and helped me to find the level of pushing my jaw forward that is most ideal. I’d highly recommend seeing one in your area!
What type of mouth piece?
which mouth piece worked for you?

My first sleep test...stopped breathing 536 times in 7hrs. I thought it was my prostate issues I kept getting up for but no I was choking to death and that was just one night
That’s insane! You all good now?
Just out of curiosity, how much do you weigh? And what’s your exercise routine looking like?
I was in same boat with how many times I stop breathing in a night. One night I did stop breathing, had no air left in my lungs. My dog in the picture knew I had stopped breathing and she shoved her nose in my side and got me awake. When I woke I was gasping to get air back in my lungs. It took like 10 minutes to get a normal pattern back. She my guardian angel. I am not overweight. But I have since quit drinking alcohol and improved my diet. No longer need my CPAP.
Yea i lost a bunch of weight to control mine but when i was in bad shape i was in _bad_ shape. I used to not only get woken up by my apnea i would then proceed to full on sleep walk into shit
@@FartInYourFace234 I have severe sleep apnea. I’m a pretty fit guy. 5’11”/170lbs. Exercise x5 a week. It’s not an overweight thing for me. I’ve had it all my life.
Sleep Apnea is one of the most downplayed condition. Even some General Physicians brush it off as snoring
Sadly it is not one of the most downplayed conditions. I have the most ignored condition in western medicine and a few other rare ones. Most doctors will blush off anything that's somewhat complicated or "rare". I also have sleep apnea though, and no one's done anything about it yet. I'm not saying it's not ignored but there are lots of conditions that doctors try to act like aren't a big deal. But they really are. It's all very sad.

@@HazeLmao Sincerely, I've never listen to any of his podcasts. But most of his shorts are about drugs and wild animals. It's funny.
I dated a guy with Sleep Apnea and it was the exact same thing. He would stop breathing. He said that he had no idea until a friend told him.
I'm a RN. I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. I believe I had it since 2nd grade. It virtually ruined my life. I never did the sounds or snoring. My body would just wake me so I'd wake 100s of times a night and then as part of routine preop tests for a cosmetic procedure at age 39 they required a sleep study. I had 318 times I stopped breathing. Woke 248x. Pulse ox 71%. My whole life my quality of life has sucked from fatigue, feeling crappy all the time, etc. I went to doctor after doctor w my laundry list of problems and they either dismissed it or acted as if I was a drug seeker. Or they'd put me on a bunch of meds that never helped. Since I didn't snore...literally NOONE ever did a sleep study on me and I suffered my whole life for it.
But are you big?
Are you in the United States, or in a country with socialized medicine? I'm an RPSGT, and in the US, it's taken very seriously. In socialized medicine countries, you could very well hit a dead-end wall and never get the help you need.
@unchargedpickles - so what was your end result? Did you get the help you needed and how so……
Think he died.....
My sleep test was so bad that I left the center with a CPAP.
I had mine within a week of my test
They put a mask on me midway through mine. The lady was frantic af. Cpap therapy saved my life for sure.

“Hey doc, Joe Rogan told me I have sleep apnea when we were flying together and I need a thing for my mouth now.”

Underrated comment lol
Thankyou brotha! I’m 5’7” 155 ibs. And I have severe sleep apnea. It’s no joke, started using a c-pap machine like 14 years ago. Won’t sleep without!
As a Sleep Technician for the last 23 years, I SO appreciate you showing concern and giving sound, firm advice, Joe. I really hope he listened to you and took it seriously. He can easily die in his sleep of a heart attack (but secondarily caused by obstructive sleep apnea). I've used CPAP myself for 14 years, and good for you in getting that special mouthpiece!
Imagine waking up to Joe staring at you over the seat like a 5 year old :D
"Like a 5-year old."
Softly opening your eyes to see Joe Rogan looking at you so close that your noses are almost touching
“Hey man-”
That’s all I could imagine when I heard him tell the story XD
That would be amazing
I'd just stare right back, unblinking and continue to make snoring noises.
I have sleep apnea, and my machine broke and I was sleeping at my mother's house and she said she had to go in my room she said I sounded like I was literally choking to death and then several seconds would go by and she would hear me gasping for air. I immediately made a new appointment for a new sleep study, because I was wondering why I literally could not stay up during the day would fall asleep after I've been up for only an hour, and literally could not remember anything anyone said 5 minutes after having a conversation with them. Sleep apnea stresses to heart, and it really ruins the quality of life, to the point where you are so tired during the day you can't enjoy anything. That was really nice of Joe Rogan to help that man out.
Just curious why you got a new study when you already knew you had it.
When I started having to take strong painkillers for my spinal issues, I developed sleep apnea, which I didn't know about until my ex told me that she was waking up in the night because I hadn't breathed for up to 30 seconds. Some nights she was actually crying because of the sound of some of the breaths I was taking.
Getting checked for sleep apnea was the best decision I ever made. In the years since I got it, I went through a period of not using it every night because of little personal issues, but once I started using it every night the changes were enormous.
There have only been 2 occasions since I started using it every night when I wasn't able to use it, both occasions lasted 2 nights, and I'm not exaggerating or trying to sound overly dramatic when I say that I genuinely felt myself regressing back to feeling the early signs of depression and my spinal issues were made to feel way worse because of all of the rolling around in the night.
@@donogoodatgames that's what my brother told me, that consistency is the key to feeling better, I am glad that your depression lifted!
@@OldOneShoe most insurance companies make you do a sleep test every time
I learned the hard way to bring spare supplies on trips. It was a three day trip and on night one, my mask tore. I couldn't get supplies anywhere and it was a miserable three days. Now on any trip, it's spare filters, spare mask, spare hose, spare adapter for the hose. I also bring an extension cord to be sure I can reach an outlet.
My ex husband used to do that and he would get so defensive and angry when i would tell him he had to go to the doctor. I was suffering too because i couldnt sleep because of the bear next to me. I video taped him and i showed him articles of the health dangers and after a long time, i mean years of this, he finally got his machine and now he will not go wothout it.
How do you know he won't go without it if he's your ex 🤔
Dunno the finer details of your life, but just going off a shallow look.
But down, I wonder how one can no longer be together with the spouse who helped saved my life and improve my quality of life. I get other things could happen to sour the relationship, but that's a huge moment I would be hard pressed to walk away from
My bestie and my auntie both got on CPAPs, changed their life. My bestie had a total personality change, becoming a more patient and easygoing person. If snoring is an issue, get it taken care of ASAP.

What doctor cures that? I have a friend of mine, who definitely has that
Sleep apnea isn't the same as snoring..
@@ms.ellaneous47yes it is
Snoring is an obstruction
As a person with sleep apnea - ABSOLUTELY TRUE
I had undiagnosed sleep apnea for a year. My first night sleeping with a machine was basically the first night I had slept in a year. I cried the next morning, I literally didn't remember what it was like to get a night's sleep.
My health has improved dramatically!
My dentist told me I had a small mouth and a big tongue and he couldn't diagnose , but he'd bet money I had sleep apena and should go get tested. Had a slow start with the machine but yes, felt like you really weren't sleeping before
That’s awesome, I’m happy for you that you found relief
Had the machine 6 years. Never been compliant. I rip it off at some point during the night. Makes me feel like I'm drowning

My mom had a sleep study done, too, and she was diagnosed as only getting the equivalent of 4 hours of sleep a night due to sleep apnea. (Plus she'd snored heavily)
She had complained of always being tired during the day, plus she got headaches often.
After she was prescribed a sleep apnea machine, it reversed the problem completely. 😊😴
He’s so right. My mom is a sleep study tech and it can truly change your life. And not just to help you get a good night’s sleep. It also contributes to many other conditions like blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease among other things. The lack of oxygen actually kills your brain cells as well. And for those that think you will be uncomfortable wearing the mask to sleep the difference it makes in your quality of sleep makes it where it’s welcome. My step dad eagerly uses his for every little nap he takes. They also have pillows with a cut out for the hose that makes it more comfortable if you’re a side sleeper. If you have issues please do yourself a favor and get tested!
Sleep apnea ain't no joke. You don't have to be fat to have it either.
I've had it for years now y'all scaring me
I once started getting sleep apnea when I was a little overweight and once I lost that little bit of extra weight (from 215 down to under 200), my breathing problems stopped completely. Since then, I've kept my weight around 180-190 and I don't have those breathing issues anymore. I understand not every case is cut and dry, though.
My sleep doc told me my sleep apnea isn't because I'm fat, its because of my jaw/throat/tongue lay out. He called me a "natural". Tongue too big, throat too small.
I wish my parents had removed my tonsils and left my foreskin the fuck alone.
Im skinny and i have it
I have sleep apnea myself, but didn’t understand the seriousness of it till last year, when a coworker passed. He forgot to put on his cpap, stopped breathing and went in to cardiac arrest and past in his sleep. Like Joe said, get medical attention, cause your life depends on it.
I'm sorry about your coworker. My sleep center told me sleep apnea is like having little heart attacks every night. I've never missed a nap or night without my machine after that. I don't think people realize how serious it really is. They just think, oh I snore loud.
So he missed one night without it and died? I call bullshit
@@mahteef Probably because you don't understand what you're talking about
My healthcare proffesional told me that its like having a series of mini strokes during sleep. No wonder I felt like shit for years before I was diagnosed.
The CPAP won’t keep you from stop breathing, it just helps prevent the stoppage. My wife saves my life about every six months when I stop breathing and don’t wake up. I’m scared to use my CPAP though because it’s harder for her to hear me making the same noises Joe is describing.
This hit me really hard.
When I was 3 years old riding a tricycle I was ran over by a truck. I broke both my left and right collarbones, my left wrist, I had 2nd degree road rash on the entirety of my left face as I was dragged on concrete before the driver stopped. But the worst thing that happened was breaking my nose.
Upon arrival to the hospital I was immediately rushed into surgery where I underwent 4 hours of operations battling for my life. Because of the horrible shape I was in the doctors were only able to preform operations that were absolutely necessary for my survival as additional surgery’s would actually put me in even more danger. One of those injuries they didn’t fix at the time was my broken nose.
Because I was so young, growth occurs quickly. So by time they were able to fix my nose without jeopardizing my life the septum of my nose was touching the inside of my left nostril blocking off my airway. As a result of this I can hardly breath out of the left side of my nose so I snore loudly because it’s not possible to stop. I have underwent 5 deviated septum surgeries to try and open my nose more so I could breath better but none of them worked. (The breathing machine also didn’t help).
Sleep Apnea is the worst. Not only does it make falling sleep hard, it makes staying asleep hard as well. But above all this the worst part was the insecurities it left me with. In 3rd grade we took a nap in class for 30 minutes as a reward for something by the teacher and I was very excited but then when the time came for the nap I started snoring and I was made fun of for it. It really hurt my feelings to know I wasn’t ‘normal’ because of something outside of my control
Dude honest to God!!! I was walking across a main street at night, got hit, broke my leg and had that weird metal cage on it. Broke my eye socket and pinched my optic nerve and im permanently blind in my left eye and every single time I say I care more about my damn nose break than my eye. I'm hacking up mucus every damn two seconds or I just gag and that ain't fun for anyone in the damn room.. best wishes on your end man.
Boys, yall some hard mother fuckers.
@@noahlaizer7434 you to bro! Luckily I didn’t have any other lasting injuries other than the issue with my nose I hope you weren’t permanently messed up worse haha

As a sleep apnea sufferer myself, I can say without a doubt, the best thing that man could do is take Joe’s advice!!! Having sleep apnea & using a c-pap makes a night & day difference!!! The only way I know how to explain it is, being able to actually get restful sleep! And not wake up tired!!!
Imagine watching this later in life being the guy who still hasn’t gone to the doctor for his sleep apnea haha
No I can't. He'd be dead, no one to talk to.
🤣🤣 omg classic comedy how did u think of that1 🤣👌🤣🤣
Ya, I guarantee the guy knew he had OSA before Joe mentioned it.
Most ppl who *definitely* have it, already know... They just aren't willing to wear a CPAP. 🤷
Hahahahahaaaha
Been on CPAP for 3 years now! Best change I've ever written made to my rest!
This video literally changed my life. I'm 38 and I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2021 and haven't had a good night's sleep since until 2 night's ago. Because of this video I went and bought the Zsilent and have be sleeping great ever since. I now feel rested and energized when I wake up plus I have energy throughout the day. My libido is back to normal with morning erection etc. I can't wait to see the long term effects. Thus product is worth every penny.
Joe my cpap is part of my anatomy! I cant stress enough in my nursing to follow though and get a sleep study and wear the equipment!! Thank you
My dad used to freak us out. He refused to believe us till we filmed him. Dude freaked out so bad he ditched work and went to specialist.

Oh man, I can’t imagine the wake up call that was for him. It must have been painful for him to see that, which is good because it lights a fire under your ass and makes you get medical treatment.
Lol funny you call him dude glad its good though
That’s crazy dude
Its hard to cope with sleep apnea when you get diagnosed it's life changing
How so
Well you don't sleep well you get up even more tied than the night before sleep masks or nasal masks keep you're airway open
My 1st night with CPAP I woke up feeling I'd had the best night's sleep of my life. I had slept one hour! I woke up 2 hours later again feeling I'd had a great night's sleep. Again about 4 hours later, and finally after another 3 hours. So in one night I'd had 4 of the best, most restful nights of sleep I could remember!

Why is it life changing
@@MandelaFreeman If you have sleep apnea you don’t get good sleep. You’re always tired. You start thinking this tiredness is normal. Once you start using a CPAP you’re finally able to go into deep sleep again since you don’t stop breathing 100 times per night. Your energy level increases significantly.
@@clickbait8481 dude I've been taking iron pills for years because I thought that's why I was so tired all the time. I've had really bad sleep apnea since I was 15 and I'm now 30. I've been woken up by many women who thought I died in my sleep because they just turned over and I wasn't breathing for way too long. Reading this is big news for me
@@clickbait8481 awesome, thanks for letting me know. How do you find out if you have it you just have to have someone monitor your sleep?
@@MandelaFreeman first step is talking to your doctor. To get the machine you have to have a sleep study done. For me, that was just a kit I took home and hooked myself up for a night so it could monitor me. If you’re confirmed to have sleep apnea, then a sleep doctor can get a machine for you. Sleep studies used to be very expensive, but the at home ones are quite economical. As I recall, the machine was around $600, but they spread they payments out so it’s not too bad.
I sleep with a CPAP ( Constant Positive Air Pressure) machine. Had sleep studies to readjust the pressure. Before I was diagnosed by my DOCTOR, I always wondered why my Bouvier would bark in my face when I fell asleep in my chair. Interrupted sleep ruins your life.
My dad has this too. The doctor gave him a little monitor to go home and sleep with and it recorded that he stopped breathing 60 times in one night of sleep.
Can you believe for some this happens 60 times per hour?? Glad he got checked out. Did he end up getting a CPAP?
@@loftasleep yes but the doctor told him if he doesn’t cut back on his diet which is mostly beer, it’s not going to help much. He’s not even really obese which is the weird thing. He’s just out of shape with a beer belly.
Apnea is no joke. 84 full Apnea episodes an hour and countless partials here. It does make a difference to see a Dr and have that sleep study. With my cpap I have less headaches, I don't fully wake up in the llnight as I used to, I get more sound and restful sleep, I have more energy, my appetite has evened out, I don't feel the need to snack as often for energy. I'm less irritable, it's been a life changer. If anyone has ever told you that you snore or breath funny when asleep, speak to someone. Apnea in some cases can be life threatening.
I try to use my CPAP mask, but i wake up after an hour with a completely dried out mouth and throat.
@DerekMoore82 you need to talk to your doctor.
@@texan903 I can't afford to, it's like $85 just for a visit.
@DerekMoore82 you need a humidifier added to it. It will help with that. Good luck!
@DerekMoore82 also, you should really be breathing through your nose. You might try a chin strap to help keep your mouth closed at night. I've been through all the trial and errors!
Just did a sleep study a week or so ago. Turns out I have a mild to moderate case of it... when I lie on my back, which is my preferred sleeping position. I'm 190 pounds at 5' 10", so I am about 10 lbs overweight, but by no means am I obese. I was waking up so many times during the night and had no idea why.
Bro, I'm like 5'10-, 5'10.5 and jist under 190 lbs. I'm in great shape same deal with me. But I'm a stomach sleeper but when I wake up I'm almost always on my back. That's the problem. Then my jaw relaxes and hangs and cuts off my airway
Got a CPAP when I was 18. Gave me the energy to start training. Now at 19, I’ve lost 65kg (160lbs), started running and long distance hiking. The CPAP changed my life, hopefully I will be able to live without it once my weight is average.

I had the same thing in my hospital room. The guy was snoring loud and would stop breathing for what seemed like forever,so much so I called the nurse in. They said unfortunately this happens and walked off. So when the guy finally woke up I told him about it and that he should get checked for sleep apnea. He said he didn't have a clue that he was doing it, and that his wife has had an appointment for herself at the sleep clinic. He then made an appointment for himself as well.
I was starting to have issues with sleeping due to my weight. If I slept on my back I would wake myself up from snoring/catching my breath. I’m 5’10 and weighed about 330 pounds. I’m down to 220 now and haven’t had problems with sleeping since I got below 300, I’ve also stopped snoring entirely according to my fiancé. I don’t think that’s considered sleep apnea, I guess i was just too fat to sleep lmao
Same story here. Glad to hear you’re much better. Keep up the work.
No matter the cause, that is sleep apnea. It will lead to a stroke eventually.

Sleep apnea is no joke please if you or you know someone that has it please refer them to a doctor.
Both of my kids have sleep apnea, but not me. It runs on dad's side. I just got my daughter evaluated for it, she has enlarged tonsils which they believe are causing it. Waiting for the referral to come in from the ENT dept to schedule her tonsillectomy. She's so tired all the time and wakes up with headaches regularly. Her brother has the same issue, they say his tonsils are enlarged too, but I'll wait to see how she does first before I schedule him, she's 12 and he's 7.
Been on CPAP for 3yrs now. I would wake up and feel like I was being choked or drowning. Turns out I had severe sleep apnea. It’s does change your life for the better once you get it fixed.
Hi, I might have sleep apnea as well as i snore a lot according to my girlfriend. I actually saw some videos about the CPAP machine, isn't it uncomfortable to sleep with? You gotta carry it around with you on business trips/vacations as well?
just went to a rehab for physical therapy and my roommate had that and more. I told the nurses but noone did anything about it and she was not the type you could speak to about much so I did let her leave without suggesting she get help. she was very nasty in other ways, so I was glad when she left. mom and I bought coat buttons to sew on Dad's pajama backs. it worked for awhile, the buttons dig into his spine when he rolled onto his back, so he'd roll back over to his side, but it eventually got so bad nothing but the mask and oxygen helped. he was a Pearl Harbor Survivor, by the way.
Congratulations you fried my remaining brain cells
@@steviegonzales2348 brrrrrrruuuuuuh. I've just woke people up laughing. I was reading this thinking, I don't want to be rude or insensitive, but what the fuck... Or maybe I'm just tired... So I went to re-read it but seen your comment.
Fucking snotted everywhere trying not to laugh
I'm in a rehab right now and my roommate never sleeps. Oh, he snores A LOT and he's either in a bad mood or you can sense on the edge of exploding. We've never said a word to each other. I was told that this room was his last chance or he would be kicked out. We're both being discharged about the same time.
@@steviegonzales2348 Yeah, that's quite a disjointed comment. 😁
@@nckhed Probably from lack of sleep.😂
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I got my CDL. That machine was a nightmare in my life. And after I went and got a negative test from a lab the sleep apnea company refused to accept it and forced me to keep using it.. I had to go get a new medical card to remove that nightmare out my life. In my personal experience this diagnosis are more scams than anything else. I don't denied it does exist but it has become a business more than actually help the patient.
I'm British and I really like this fella 👍
I'm 5'9" and 190 and have had cpap machine for 2 years. Love it so much. I have to sleep on my side though because if I sleep on my back I still snore even with the CPAP on.
My best friend of 11 years passed away in his sleep from sleep apnea, his heart just stopped. I told him 1 year prior I was extremely concerned for his health. He didn’t take it serious 😢 He was 47 years old with 7 yr old daughters when he passed. Still learning how to live with this grief
My uncle died in his sleep from sleep apnea. He didn't go to the doctor and my aunt would beg him. One morning, he just didn't wake up. It was so tragic.
That's hella sad actually
There’s nothing better than dying in your sleep. Fr
I sent my husband to the doctor over this and I was right.
My dentist got the ball started with my apnea diagnosis. I will be forever grateful
Nobody can tell tell they are snoring, its extremely difficult to know, unless someone tells you.
Sometimes I wake up with my snore sounds, should I care?
@@Ruimneyyes, if you snore yourself awake you have a problem
You can record your sleep & check it next day to see if you are snoring.
Joe's sound imitations are always on point
Way to go Joe! Thank you from a former sleep tech. ❤
"You ever seen a bear with sleep apnoea? It goes like this HNYOORK"
I was expecting Joe to say "I showed him the video I recorded of him sleeping. " 😆
I had a lot of sleepless nights growing up with an older brother who had one of the worst cases of sleep apnea the doctor told him.
@@walterb3946 Too big too strong . I had no choice, it definitely messed up how I sleep for the rest of my life.
My brother was a star lacrosse player. 2% body fat, six pack, strong. He snored so loud I could hear him downstairs. It’s not only for fat people…though weight never helps.
It really does change your life
I agree with you 100% Joe Rogan I have sleep apnea myself and before I was using my machine I actually had fluids oozing out in my legs after using it within about a month month and a half somewhere in there swelling started going down I started growing hair back on my legs even answered on my toes first Andy fluids head stopped and yes you're definitely right it will make a difference nacho people all the time anyway great videos Man please give up the good work thank you for sharing with us brother. 👍👍🙏
My sister was diagnosed by a visiting nurse who was taking care of her mother-in-law. When the results came back from her sleep study they told her she quit breathing 96 times every hour! Severe!!
I had a sleep study conducted. I had severe sleep apnea (I’m not overweight). I got CPAP and I feel so much better in the morning!
I have sleep apnea. Because of the discomfort the mask and system causes I went 10 days without sleep. Day 11 I didn't wear the mask and slept like a baby.
@@slc308 same here.. the mask works great when I first put it on, and then a few hours later I wake up gasping for air and then realized I don't feel any air coming in through the mask. Took it off and the next morning I took it back and told my doctor this cpap is crap, and then was told there's nothing else he could do or suggest.
@@dominicfrost8627 There is an array of different masks that you can try and eventually you find one that is comfortable and the right size.
Not sure why you wouldn't be getting any air, either the hose was crimped somewhere, or the machine auto turned off. Many have auto-start/stop features you can try disabling them likely the mask wasn't fitted well enough so it thought you took the mask off and turned itself off.
Had a nurse listening to me one night doing the exact same thing at a caravan park
Luckiest thing ever.
Life changing.
Still remember sitting having a coffee and she came up and asked
" are you the gentleman that snores?"
I laughed at first until she told me I'd stop breathing for a few minutes before gasping for air.
She saved my life ❤
God bless you Joe shows you care
There are a lot of people who don't realize what sleep apnea looks like but they have it. They are obviously asleep and don't realize how bad it is.
"Gaak-gaa-gaa-gack!" - Joe Rogan
I have it too. At first I went thru denial but then I realized how much better I felt throughout the day. Like Joe says it will change your life. If you think you have it pl go to a doctor
I have sleep apnea, when i was a baby i stopped breathing at nigth, and i talk and sleepwalk very often, but now i can wake myself up when i stop breathing, when i was a baby i couldn’t do that, now Im a healthy young man💪🏽
I was on a plane once and I heard this ghhgghghh.... I turned around and this couple was taking the mile high thing to a new level.
🤣🤣🤣
I'm a sleep tech. Love the message.
Me too! ❤ I'm also an RRT. I love that Joe addressed this.
Very cool! What's your rpsgt number? I'm in the high 24k's. I hear some of the old timers have met single digit folk
@@zachthomas4005 I'm in the 5,000s, was certified in 2003. :) 💜
As someone with sleep apnea I have gained new respect for Joe. People do not realise how much embarrassment and suffering we go through if left untreated. Not to mention if left untreated can reduce your life span by a lot
This is good advice. It can really improve lives.....and so can losing weight. Do both.
