Celebrity Sleep Deaths....

"Isn't that just snoring?" This is what you hear a lot, when you talk about Sleep Apnea. Many people are unaware that Sleep Apnea is a very serious disorder that can kill you (Sudden Cardiac Death). Sleep apnea also causes serious and life-shortening disorders: high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, automobile accidents caused by falling asleep at the wheel, diabetes, depression and other ailments (ASAA). 

Today I learned that these celebrities all died at the hands of Sleep 

Apnea: 

Jerry Garcia 

(Grateful Deal)

John Candy

(Stripes, Cool Runnings, Space Balls, Etc) 

Reggie White

(Packers, Eagles, Panthers)

Chris Penn

(Reservoir Dogs, Rush Hour, All the Right Moves)

It is important the when building awareness about sleep apnea, you stress how deadly the disorder is. In doing so, hopefully we can prevent further loss of life...
