Most Popular Sleep Apnea Movies and TV Shows
Although the TV show “Friends” was on 25 years ago, my family and I still love watching it on Netflix. The other night, Season 4’s episode 20 came on with the intro scene being all about Joey snoring and keeping Chandler up at night. In case you are wondering, Joey goes to have a sleep study done and hilarity ensues
Seeing this episode may me think about other TV shows and movies that involve a character dealing with a sleep disorder. Believe it or not, IMDB has a list of the “Most Popular TV Shows and Movies with Sleep Apnea” . This is more proof that you can really find anything on the internet.
