i can't wait for the final results of this analysis.

for a long time i've wondered why i was so sleepy. i often work out of my apartment (a new building), and NYC being NYC, my windows and doors are often closed to allow for air conditioning.

i bought an awair sensor, and when i plugged it in, i was getting readings of 1000-1500ppm on CO2. immediately started ventilating the apartment, outside weather be damned. impossible to tell, but i feel more awake and healthier in general now. i also make it a point to get outside more and work more from my office (which is very big and airy and lightly attended).



I just want to say that while suggestive, correlation and causation yadda yadda. If you find that you’re tired all of the time, prone to falling asleep whenever you sit down somewhere, and especially if you snore or often wake up with a headache...Get A Sleep Study! You may have sleep apnea, which is quite common and easy to treat. These days you can get a take-home kit under most insurance, and if you need the full clinical study they’ll go from there.

It’s all totally painless, and the change proper treatment makes if you need it can’t be overstated. Sleep apnea could also conceivably make you more sensitive to nocturnal hypercapnia.
