The American Sleep Apnea Association (ASAA) has declared April 18, 2012 as Sleep Apnea Awareness Day.  Sleep Apnea occurs when the airway is blocked during sleep, causing loss of oxygen to the blood, and causing the body to not be able to achieve deep REM sleep.  REM sleep is essential to the human body and without it a person never feels rested.  The affects of sleep deprivation are cumulative. The American Sleep Apnea Association (ASAA) has issued a YouTube Video to help with awareness.  Please share it with your friends and family.  Sleep Apnea is no joke, it can be life-threatening and is easily treated with effective results.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://blog.thecpappeople.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-15786216.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Get $15 Rebate on Respironics TrueBlue</title><category>Events</category><category>Product Information</category><category>cpap</category><category>cpap mask</category><category>discount</category><category>rebate</category><category>respironics</category><category>save</category><category>trueblue</category><dc:creator>TheCPAPPeople.com</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 09 Apr 2012 15:23:42 +0000</pubDate><link>http://blog.thecpappeople.com/blog/2012/4/9/get-15-rebate-on-respironics-trueblue.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">685369:8009592:15772365</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Respironics is offering a <strong>$15 rebate</strong> to those customers who make out-of-pocket purchases for the <a href="http://www.thecpappeople.com/products/respironics-trueblue-gel-nasal-cpap-mask.aspx">TrueBlue Gel Nasal CPAP Mask</a> from now until June 30th, 2012.&nbsp;&nbsp; Simply submit your claim form and receipt and get $15 back!</p>
