Since my Inspire was activated I have continually slept through the night and no longer need mid-day naps to feel rested. Inspire has changed my life.

My Inspire was implanted August of 2024 and I was activated September 9th, 2024. My first night of sleep with the activated Inspire I slept very little, waiting to feel something or hear something, and nothing happened. The second night I slept the best sleep of many months as I was confident what the Inspire team had promised was going to happen. That excellent sleep has continued nightly for more than five months.

Interests:

Fishing, big game hunting, long range shooting, firearms trading, German Shepherds

Why I chose Inspire therapy to treat my sleep apnea:

After six months of BiPAP therapy I knew I needed to find a different method to control my severe sleep apnea. It was miserable. I dreaded going to bed because of the face mask, the noise, the waking up many, many times EVERY night.

Why am I a patient ambassador?

Persons who have struggled with BiPAP/CPAP need to know that this device can make a difference in their lives just as it has mine. I want to share my experience to make their sleep 100 times better.
