Edgar: There were moments before I was diagnosed where I would ask myself, “Why am I so tired?”

[Edgar continues to talk to the camera while multiple photographs of Edgar smiling and on his vacation, appear on screen.]

Edgar: I thought I was just a very sleepy person, that I was not as in shape or fit or athletically active. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea as a follow up to an emergency I had while vacationing in Colorado. The first day, I was already feeling very exhausted, very weak, and I thought that perhaps it was getting used to the altitude.

Edgar: I had to be taken to the emergency room in the middle of our vacation.

[The video cuts to Frankie, Edgar’s partner, sitting in a chair while talking to the camera. While Frankie is talking, the video cuts to Frankie and Edgar lying down in bed. Frankie is unable to sleep while Edgar moves in bed.]

Frankie: In the middle of the night. I'll hear a (gasping noise). He'll have that one, like gasp of air and it wakes me up because it's so loud and abrupt. When he doesn't get a good night's sleep, he’s like a walking zombie. I feel so bad when I see it.

[The video cuts to Edgar talking to the camera and then cuts to him watering plants.]

Edgar: Making sure that we're getting a proper good night's sleep is important because it affects everything else when you're awake.

00:58-01:08

[The video cuts to Frankie talking to the camera.]

Frankie: When I was learning how he had to sleep with his apnea, I was more curious than anything. Tell me more about this. I want to learn.

[The video cuts to Edgar talking to the camera. A short montage plays where we see Edgar washing his face before going to sleep, Edgar and Frankie sleeping in bed, and Edgar and Frankie talking in the kitchen.]

Edgar: I have come to appreciate sleep as an activity in my life. We communicate about our sleep. We communicate about our needs. We've been able to talk about when I go to bed, when he goes to bed, and some of the things that are necessary for us to have a successful night of sleep.

[The video cuts to Frankie talking to the camera, then cuts to Edgar and Frankie sitting on a couch playing video games together, then back to Frankie talking to the camera.]

Frankie: This actually ended up making our relationship stronger because we can talk about our sleep. What else do we need to talk about? We're able to share that, understand, empathize with each other, thus making that relationship even more strong.

[The video cuts to Edgar and Frankie playing pickleball.]

Frankie: We definitely get competitive with pickleball. We really enjoy it.

Edgar: With friends, we meet every week, we play. We've done leagues, which has been really nice.

Frankie: It's honestly just a good, fun time for us.

01:48-02:01

[The camera cuts to Edgar talking to the camera and then to a shot of Edgar and Frankie hugging while smiling to the camera.]

Edgar: My sleep routine is sacred. I am a force and I am ready to go to bed and nothing can stop me. It is an event. You don't need a ticket for it. It's kind of nice. It's free. Sleeping is...yeah...I love it.
