"Being creative is enough."

The Silent Thief: Sleep Apnea

September 11, 2013

The Silent Thief That Comes In The Night Steals Your Vitality

I have been at war for at least 10 years and didn’t know against who or what. Yesterday I was shaken by the diagnosis that it was highly likely that I, like many others, am visited by the silent thief that comes in the night, sleep apnea.

Strangely it was diagnosed by a voice specialist who while asking me questions on the phone determined that my vocal challenges are likely due to sleep apnea, a diagnosis that surprised me and made me angry, to be quite honest. He said that he has some patients who have been treated for sleep apnea and their vocal problems are improving. Not only that, the fact that I have been fighting this thief now probably for ten years would account for my inexplicable difficulty with energy and waking early in the morning.

A Good Nights Sleep Is A Cherished Commodity

The silent thief will steal a persons most important energy creation function, sleep. You don’t even realize you wake up all of the time, all night long, and thus never get a good night’s sleep and in the day you are so tired you can barely lift a pencil and have absolutely no desire for any activity except sleep. It is an enemy that cannot be overcome by force of will, motivation or inspiration. If you can’t sleep, it is next to impossible to have a good life.

How To Catch The Silent Thief.

The problem known can lead to a solution. The breath mask, forcing air into your nose down your windpipe so it doesn’t collapse. I am not excited about this treatment method. Losing weight is a big part of making your sleep better and probably strengthening the cardio-vascular system through exercise would also be a good way to decrease the effects. It is an issue of a blocked airway, or you simply stop breathing until your mind wakes up and corrects the problem, but you are not conscious of it.

All I know is that when you are exhausted all day long for no reason, something is wrong, and it makes you think that you cannot function at all. All I know is that the silent thief is probably responsible for part of the challenges that I have been going through for about 10 years now. I guess it is good to know why, but it sure is hard to believe that such a thing can alter your life without you ever knowing about it.

I’m not big on writing about problems, but in this case, maybe sometime somewhere someone will be made aware of it and be able to take steps against it. This is the power of having a blog associated with the Empower Network, it is in the top 500 websites worldwide, thus giving your content more ranking power on search engines. So, no matter what you are going through, the good and the bad, maybe your story or your story of someone else will be the blessing someone else needs to hear to make their life better. In the coming weeks, the capability of the Empower Network blog is going explode through new technology, it is a very good thing for the world, because not only does it help get your message out to the world, but it can also change lives in a real way financially. It just makes sense. Click here and enter your email to watch the marketing technology at work.
