Convenient, effective, and beneficial to my mental health.
Inspire has changed my life because I can actually get a decent night's sleep, wake up with energy to do the activities I love, and my wife will sleep in the same bed as me! Before receiving the Inspire device on November 5, 2020, I would have approximately 40 apnea events per hour. After the implant was activated, that number was reduced to 2. This significantly impacted my mental health, because my body was no longer fighting constantly to maintain my sleep which gave my brain time to rest and reset.

I chose Inspire to treat my sleep apnea because I could not tolerate a CPAP and I was looking for alternative solutions that were quiet (so I would not bother my wife), and that would allow me to sleep on my stomach. I liked that the device was easy to use with a minimally invasive outpatient surgery.
I am a patient ambassador because I was so positively impacted by the Inspire device. I think it is important that potential patients understand the benefits to not only their physical health but also their mental health.
