Together they discuss their advocacy for sleep apnea awareness. They talk about the correlation between pain pill and sleep apnea. They open up about their personal experiences and also the pain it's caused in their own lives.

Then we talk to a sleep apnea expert Dr. Robert Wolf DDS. He informs us on the potential harms of this common sleep disorder and also his advice and solution to help people who struggle with it.
