Just an observation...but who is going to tell him..

This is not meant to have any political intent. Dont read anything unintended into it please.

I and many others here have experienced the head nodding impact of sleep apnea daytime (anytime) fatigue.

Since being diagnosed and treated myself, I have also observed it in friends, family and peers...and duly suggested they get it looked at.

Happily for me, I am getting great results from my therapy and have overcome the fatigue issues..which also means I live healthier and most importantly safer ( eg driving).

Thing that struck me yesterday while watching parts of the 250th Forces Parade (Presidents Birthday) on TV...was the obvious indications that President Trump has an apnea type issue.
His head nodded and snapped back numerous times and he appeared subdued, drawn. I am sure that most of us recognise that awful feeling.

Interestingly this condition was not brought up in his recent public medical report release.

I would consider that it should have been for his own good and the nations good.

Did others notice this?

... the obvious indications that President Trump has an apnea type issue.

There are over 80 sleep disorders, so that only suggests he may have a sleep disorder, not necessarily that sleep disorder.

There is an afternoon circadian dip where just about everyone feels like a nap, especially if sitting quietly during a monotonous activity, so that could be totally normal.

He may have had little sleep during the previous night. Perhaps he was on the phone with Bibi trying to figure out how to avoid a nuclear conflagration with Iran.

It is claimed he only needs, and takes, 4 to 5 hours of sleep per night. I doubt it, and believe he has Insufficient Sleep Syndrome.

I've been noticing signs for years. In addition to his sleepiness,

- behavior
- confusion
- irritability
- heavy layers of fat under the chin
- social truth posts all hours of the night (apnea waking him)
- high prevalence of apnea in the population
- grab them by the TACO

I also suspected for years that Biden had sleep apnea.

For sure Biden doesn't have heavy layers of fat under his chin.

For sure Biden's doctors don't lie for him.

You do know Biden was diagnosed with sleep apnea 17 years ago and has been using CPAP for two years? - https://www.npr.org/2023/06/28/11849018 ... e-at-night

Plus the POTUS doctors are bound by confidentiality and HIPAA, so I don't know what the previous poster is talking about Doctors lying.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the NPR link in my previous comment:

Biden's sleep apnea was disclosed in a 2008 medical report, after then Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama selected him as his running mate. Biden's 2019 medical report also mentioned sleep apnea, though his White House medical reports while in office have not.

Some years ago I was listening to an interview with a sleep researcher whose name I don't recall. He had been studying people's sleep for many years and said something to the effect that he had never encountered anyone whose normal amount of sleep was 4 hours per night. I had no reason to doubt it at the time and still don't doubt it. I take any claim like it with a grain of salt. There are the rare few I'm sure, but probably a very small percentage of those who make the claim.
