My name is Dr. Jonathan Greenburg, DDS and I just read your very educational post.
I appreciate the fact that you are getting the word out and I consider every act of educating people about Sleep Apnea and Snoring potentially saving lives. I know, I treat it everyday.
I had someone come into my office not too long ago that had fallen asleep at the wheel and killed someone. That person is not the same person after the accident. Treatment is critical for those who find themselves waking up tired, though they have had a "good nights rest"..it can be sleep apnea... snoring..can be a symptom of sleep apnea..
I am in Southern California near Los Angeles. If you, or someone you know may be at risk...PLEASE get treatment! If you are in Southern California, then please get in touch with me. I want to help you.
