Sleep COVID

Sleep COVID is a book about what happens when your airway collapses over and over while you sleep. It is not subtle once you know what to look for: oxygen drops, the brain hits the alarm, and the body spends the night working a shift it never agreed to. You wake up and blame the coffee, the stress, or getting older.

The book walks through what that repeated cycle does to the heart, the brain, blood pressure, and blood sugar. It covers how sleep apnea shows up in men, often as low testosterone and a sex drive that quietly checked out. It covers how it shows up in women, often mistaken for menopause or anxiety. It covers the dentist who spots your airway problem before your doctor does, and the driver who falls asleep at the wheel without ever meaning to.

Gregory Arneaud has spent more than 25 years as a respiratory therapist. The book reflects that background: clear, practical explanations instead of medical jargon, with each chapter ending in something the reader can act on. It closes with a self-screening checklist, a glossary, an FAQ, and a resource list to bring to a doctor's visit.

If you have ever been told you snore like a diesel engine, or woken up after eight hours in bed still exhausted, this book has some questions for you.
