Summer is in full swing here in Maine. For those with sleep apnea, the summer months can be a challenging time for maintaining their CPAP therapy. But it doesn't have to, with Sleep Well.

Summer is a busy time in Maine. Mainers want to get out and enjoy the warm weather while it lasts. For some that means trips "uptah camp," and time spent in the great outdoors. That's certainly my agenda! I love camping in the summer. However, when I did, it meant sacrificing my sleep apnea therapy. I know that isn't ideal, but what else was I to do? The answer was at Sleep Well in Bangor.

You've heard me talking about Sleep Well for a while now. So as you know, they have everything you need for your CPAP machine. I truly mean EVERYTHING. When I told them I was struggling to balance summer fun with my sleep apnea therapy, they came to the rescue.

Sleep Well set me up with a Freedom battery kit for my CPAP machine. This battery is a game-changer for me. It can power my CPAP machine for two nights on a single charge! Now whether I'm camping miles and miles away from the nearest electrical socket, or lose power at home, I can enjoy a good night's sleep anywhere.

For those who travel a lot, a business trip can mean leaving their sleep therapy at home. After a visit to Sleep Well that doesn't have to be the case. I get it, lugging a CPAP around can be a chore. They can be bulky, and yet another thing to pack. Portable CPAP machines a tiny, easily packed in a small suitcase, and makes keeping up with your sleep apnea therapy easy, even while on the road.

If summer means choosing between adventures and a CPAP machine, you should talk with the experts at Sleep Well. I know firsthand what it's like to "fall off the wagon" when it comes to sleep therapy. In addition to being perpetually exhausted, I have a hard time getting back in the swing of things. I learned it's so much better (and easy) to find ways to balance my sleep needs, with my summer adventures. It's all thanks to Sleep Well!
