About UsOnce upon a time, Insomniac (Bo) met Snorer (Andy). They got married and had three beautiful daughters. However, beautiful babies also require a lot of attention.
It did not affect Andy too much. Bo, however was a different story. She was still in college, struggled between classes, house duties and babies, and soon enough she developed anxiety and depression. Then she started to show symptoms of insomnia.
Having sleep problems in her genes (her mother suffered from insomnia all her life) and being a rather sensitive person, constantly worrying about everybody and everything, only aggravated the problem. She did not like the idea of taking prescription medications at her young age.
However, in pharmacy school, which she attended, she did not learn much about treatments other than pharmacological. She decided to extend her knowledge of sleep and sleep disorders, especially insomnia. On the other hand, Andy did not experience any sleeping difficulties himself. Obviously his snoring did not bother him. However at some point of his professional career he got a job as a biomedical engineer in one of the first sleep labs in a large teaching hospital. He was involved in research experiments as well as clinical sleep studies on people with a variety of sleep problems. He was lucky to work with top researchers in the field which proved to be very rewarding and educational. We strongly believe that the subject of sleep with all its aspects is underestimated and even ignored in some cases. Being familiar with the subject of sleep disorders and seeing how broad this problem has become we decided to share our knowledge, experience and the information we gathered over the years with other people who may have the same problems or want to learn something about sleep. We hope you will find our site enjoyable and useful. Bo and Andy
