SIGN    Episode 13
    "Be Careful of
    Sleep Apnea Syndrome!"
[00:03] Asuna
    Hi, everyone! I'm Nurse Kangoshi Asuna!
[00:06] Himeru
    I'm Kangoshi Himeru.
[00:07] Ryou
    I'm the psychiatrist...
[00:09] Himeru
    U-Um, there's something I'd
    like to ask you about...
[00:12] Ryou
    And what's that?
[00:14] Himeru
    W-Well... I'm not sure if I should say it...
[00:17] Ryou
    You can ask anything.
[00:19] Himeru
    I want them in bed!
[00:20] Ryou
    What is this, a dating sim?!
[00:21] Ryou
    Your sister's right there, Onee-san!
[00:23] Himeru
    No, you see, someone in my family hasn't
    been getting enough sleep lately.
[00:27] Himeru
    I want them to get some sleep.
[00:28] Ryou
    Oh, that's what you meant?
[00:30] Asuna
    You're filthy, Doctor.
[00:32] Ryou
    Me?! This is because I'm filthy?!
[00:34] Ryou
    So who in your family isn't sleeping enough?
[00:37] Himeru
    Well, that would infringe
    on their privacy...
SIGN    The Kangoshi
    family's privacy...?
[00:39] Ryou
    I see... Then can you tell me
    if they're male or female?
[00:43] Himeru
    If I had to say, then male, I suppose.
[00:45] Ryou
    A man? And how did you find
    out that he isn't sleeping?
[00:48] Himeru
    Well, I sleep with him sometimes...
[00:51] Ryou
    You sleep with him?!
[00:52] Himeru
    And sometimes he licks me in his sleep.
[00:54] Ryou
    Licks you?!
[00:55] Himeru
    But sometimes he stops
    breathing in his sleep,
[00:57] Himeru
    and he looks like he's in pain,
[00:59] Himeru
    so I don't think he's sleeping very deeply.
[01:01] Himeru
    So he doesn't do much
    during the day, either.
[01:03] Ryou
    I see.
[01:04] Ryou
    Have you two heard of SAS?
[01:07] Asuna
    What?!
[01:08] Girl
    I'm into sadism.
[01:10] Guy
    We have a lot in common. So am I!
[01:12] Asuna
    Sadist and sadist?!
[01:13] Ryou
    Not even close!
[01:14] Ryou
    They have that in common,
    but they'd never work as a couple!
[01:16] Ryou
    SAS stands for "sleep apnea syndrome."
SIGN    Normal Breathing
[01:21] Ryou
    It happens when breathing
    stops during sleep,
SIGN    Sleep Apnea Syndrome Normal Breathing
[01:24] ---
    often due to an obstructed airway,
[01:25] Ryou
    and causes shallow sleep, earning it
    the nickname "Pickwickian syndrome."
[01:29] Himeru
    Pickwickian syndrome? Why is it called that?
[01:32] Ryou
    Nishimaru Shihou's book, Simple Psychology,
    explains it this way:
[01:37] Ryou
    "From the fat boy in The Pickwick Papers."
SIGN    Pickwickian Syndrome
    "From the fat boy in The Pickwick Papers."
[01:40] Asuna
    What does that mean?
[01:41] Ryou
    Um, well...
SIGN    The Pickwick Papers
    Charles Dickens
[01:43] Ryou
    There's a book called
[01:45] ---
    The Pickwick Papers by the
    English author Charles Dickens,
[01:48] Ryou
    and there's a boy named Joe in it.
SIGN    Nod Nod
SIGN    Snore
[01:50] Ryou
    He had a condition similar
    to sleep apnea syndrome,
SIGN    Choke
[01:54] Ryou
    so that's why it has the nickname
    "Pickwickian syndrome."
SIGN    Snore
[01:57] Asuna
    No one would understand that
    without an explanation!
SIGN    Choke
[01:59] Ryou
    SAS causes a shortage of oxygen
    while the patient sleeps,
SIGN    Hardening of Arteries
SIGN    Hardening of Arteries
    
    Heart Failure
SIGN    Hardening of Arteries
    
    Heart Failure
    
    High Blood Pressure
[02:03] Ryou
    putting strain on the
    heart and blood vessels,
[02:06] Ryou
    which can cause hardening of the arteries,
    heart failure, or high blood pressure.
SIGN    Gah, scary...
SIGN    Daytime Sleepiness
[02:08] Ryou
    And because sleep is shallow,
SIGN    Lack of Concentration
SIGN    Depression
[02:10] Ryou
    symptoms like daytime sleepiness, lack of
    concentration, and depression can occur.
SIGN    Today's Theme:
    "Sleep Apnea Syndrome"
[02:15] Ryou
    So some people diagnosed with
    depression due to these symptoms
[02:19] Ryou
    may actually have this condition instead.
[02:21] Himeru
    What causes it?
[02:22] Ryou
    One of the biggest causes
    is obesity, as seen in Joe.
[02:25] Ryou
    Having more fat makes it
    easier for airways to close.
[02:28] Ryou
    But it can also occur in people who aren't
    obese, so everyone should be aware.
[02:31] Himeru
    And how is is treated?
[02:33] Ryou
    The most important thing is to lose weight.
[02:35] Asuna
    "If it were that easy,
    I wouldn't have a problem."
[02:37] Asuna
    What should people who say that do?
[02:39] Ryou
    One other form of treatment
    is to use a mouthpiece.
SIGN    Clang
[02:45] Ref
    Fight!
[02:54] Guy
    Take a nap.
[02:55] Guy
    Get up! Get up, Joe!
[02:58] Asuna
    So you get them to sleep this way, huh?
[03:00] Ryou
    Not that kind of mouthpiece!
[03:02] Himeru
    He should have just lost weight...
[03:04] Ryou
    You mean for treatment, or for boxing?!
SIGN    Using a Mouthpiece
[03:07] Ryou
    Anyway, using a mouthpiece forces the
    jaw forward, keeping the airway open.
[03:11] Ryou
    But in serious cases, a treatment
    called CPAP is used.
SIGN    Shiver
[03:14] Himeru
    C-Cup?!
SIGN    C-cup...
    num, num...
[03:16] Ryou
    That's the worst sleep mask ever!
[03:17] Ryou
    His condition is serious
    on a different level!
SIGN    (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
[03:19] Ryou
    CPAP stands for "continuous
    positive airway pressure."
[03:22] Ryou
    The patient wears a mask that
    pushes air into the airway,
[03:25] Ryou
    forcing it open to allow breathing.
[03:27] Ryou
    Regardless, if you think you're sleeping
    fine, but feel tired during the day...
[03:30] Girl
    Your snoring was really loud.
[03:31] Girl
    You stopped breathing last
    night. Are you okay?
[03:34] Ryou
    ...or you've been told anything
    like this, take caution.
[03:36] Asuna
    Um, and if you have no one to
    tell you how you're sleeping?
[03:40] Ryou
    Use a tape recorder or something.
[03:42] Himeru
    But how do they diagnose this condition?
[03:46] Ryou
    A respiratory doctor would have
    to examine the patient in sleep.
[03:49] Girl
    I'll watch you all night to make
    sure you don't stop breathing.
[03:52] Ryou
    He's never gonna be able to sleep!
[03:54] Ryou
    Regardless, if any of these apply
    to you, see a respiratory doctor.
[03:57] Ryou
    If that doesn't work, visit a mental clinic.
[03:59] Ryou
    Whatever you do, don't worry about
    it alone. Consult with a clinic.
[04:03] Asuna
    Got it!
[04:04] Himeru
    That helped me a lot.
[04:06] Himeru
    He has looked a bit fatter lately.
[04:09] Asuna
    You might have to exercise him
    more and watch what you feed him.
SIGN    Him? Food...?
[04:12] Ryou
    Um, I have an idea of the answer,
    but is this family member a...
SIGN    Slither
[04:19] Himeru
    Spot!
SIGN    I-I knew it...
[04:19] Ryou
    Spot?!
[04:21] Asuna
    This is our pet, Spot.
[04:23] Himeru
    I don't know what he's been eating,
    but he's gotten so fat lately.
[04:27] Himeru
    So he couldn't breathe because
    his airway was blocked.
[04:30] Asuna
    Thank goodness!
[04:32] Grandpa
    Thank goodness I'm alive!
[04:34] Ryou
    Watching you people makes me feel like
    I'll stop breathing, asleep or not...
SIGN    If you're so stressed, you feel like you
    can't breathe, visit the mental clinic!!
