No, this is not an article about Keanu Reeve’s latest sci-fi/thriller movie. What exactly is this you’re reading? Well, read on and find out, Curious George.
Insomnia is a sleeping disorder that is characterized by persistent difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services in year 2007, there were approximately 64 million Americans suffering from insomnia on a regular basis each year. Insomnia according to the source also occurs 1.4 times more commonly in women than in men.
And I have discovered that insomnia can be alleviated through hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatments. Just ask Keannu Reeves. Yes, the Keanu Reeves who battled evil computers in the Matrix. Apparently, despite the multimillion-dollar contracts, Mr. Reeves can’t get a decent shuteye.
And thus, he purchased his own portable hyperbaric chamber in his Hollywood Hills home and even sometimes at his movie set to administer the treatment. He already has undergone numerous sessions and has convinced his Street Kings co-star Naomi Harris to give the treatment a try.
But for us of humble beginnings, we shan’t despair. Hyperbaric treatments are not just for Hollywood folks. There are, if you look closely, many ways to try out Hyperbaric chambers for ourselves.
One, there are single-bag chambers for rent at a cost of $2,000 a month. Then there are also double-bag hyperbaric chambers that come in at $2,675 a month.
But if you want one at your own disposal, single- bag chambers are available at $12,900, while double-bag chambers cost $16,900. Yes, they are quite pricey. But then again, getting a good restful sleep is worth all the expense, if you ask me.
