Show Notes

If you tell your doctor that you’re tired all the time, would they take you seriously? What if you said you’re snoring? In this podcast, we talk to Alida Abdullah about finding her sleep apnea diagnosis, getting treatment, and what she wishes she’d known earlier in her journey. We also discuss a challenge many of us face: how to balance a busy lifestyle as a mom and teacher while also prioritizing her treatment and sleep.   Alida Abdullah is a wife, mother of four, and teacher living in the Atlanta area. She was initially diagnosed with sleep apnea over 10 years ago, but didn’t understand the severity of the disorder until more recently, when she learned of the many other health issues that sleep apnea can cause. Alida is sharing her story to help raise awareness of under-diagnosed but serious sleep conditions like sleep apnea and how they can affect other areas of people’s lives.   This discussion was originally recorded in July 2020.
