Wow this can be a dangerous idea.

I elaborate: I was just diagnosed for sleep apnea. When I sleep, I periodically stop breathing. Unconsciously, of course. This generally happens as I switch toward the deeper end of sleep. After a short period of time (seconds), my body panics, and wakes up enough to restart the breathing (clear the passage). Again, unconsciously. But because of the way sleep works, that's considered waking up, and so I start over on my route to deep sleep. Basically, I rarely get to the deep sleep point, and so overall my sleeping has not been effective for years.

Enter this device for those who don't suffer in such a way. It has been years, and I only recently discovered that I don't really know what good sleep means. I would imagine that, pavlovian or not, this device would inflict a similar joy on its wearer.

I'll go meme the counterpoint device to this.
