WellAwareSystems is an information site for those who experience obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The site is started by Thomas Oldham that was diagnosed with the condition a decade ago when he was still in his 30.

As a professional engineer (BSc. MSc. Ceng) suffering with sleep apnea, he knows how frustrating the condition can be. You go to sleep earlier at night expecting to feel recharged the following day. But when morning arrives, you still feel just as drained as the night before; it's as if you haven't slept at all.

After years of enduring sleepless nights due to snoring and other discomfort brought by OSA, which was compounded with a large amount of trip as required by his career as a design engineer, Thomas's wife really advised him to see a health professional. After going through a round of nocturnal polysomnography tests where his breathing pattern, brain, lung and heart activity, and blood oxygen levels were monitored during sleep, the verdict was finally in-- he has obstructive sleep apnea.
