New Episode Alert!


What happens when sleep health meets social media influence?


In this episode of SleepTech Talk, we sit down with Lindsay McFarland—better known as @yoursleepbff—to explore how she built a powerful platform educating thousands about sleep apnea, with a special focus on women.

Sleep apnea is often underdiagnosed in women, and Lindsay is working to change that narrative—one post at a time.

We dive into:

  • How Lindsay became a rising voice in sleep health on social media
  • Why women are often overlooked in sleep apnea diagnosis and treatment
  • The most common questions she gets from her audience
  • How education and awareness can drive better outcomes and adherence
  • The role of social platforms in reshaping patient engagement

Whether you're a sleep clinician, DME provider, or someone struggling with PAP adherence, this episode highlights the growing importance of meeting patients where they are—online.
