This week an article came out in the New York Times highlighting some shocking results about sleep apnea. The article states, "Over the course of the [9-year] study, people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea were nearly three times as likely to be diagnosed with depression, and almost twice as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety..."
We at Didge Project have had the opportunity to work with many people with Sleep Apnea due to the findings that playing didgeridoo can help to treat or mitigate the symptoms of sleep apnea. Click here to read the NYT Article.

Project is a blog, youtube channel, series of courses and events,
instrument store and a collective of musicians who want to help you use
music as a tool for uplifting yourself and others around you.
On
our site you will find tips and tutorials to help you become a better
musician, didgeridoo lessons, instrument features and reviews, and
reports on the latest scientific research and spiritual discoveries
merging through the medium of sound.
When
we began in 2008 our main focus was on teaching how to play the
didgeridoo, a wind instrument originating in aboriginal Australia and
also said to be present in ancient Mayan times. After working with
countless people it became apparent that most musicians play multiple
instruments and that we have the community resources to help all
musicians get better results. While we still provide didgeridoo lessons,
classes and programs, our focus is to provide tutorials for music and
instruments from all around the world. Visit us for great music
resources at www.didgeproject.com |
