When US Army veteran Patrick Skluzacek returned from Iraq in the mid-2000s, he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, and began to have nightmares. “I was scared of closing my eyes,” Skluzacek told CNN. “They were just horrible, so vivid, I’d wake up thrashing and sweating.” So in 2015, his son Tyler created a smartwatch app that tracks, manages, and stops nightmares to help his father. He invented the application, now called NightWare, during his senior year at Macalester College. The device received FDA clearance in November and works by using a person’s heart rate and movement to detect when they are having a nightmare. It then emits gentle vibrations to pull them out of the nightmare without waking them up. Tap the link in our bio to learn more about NightWare.

When your early to the cnn post👌
Here is another solution . Stop invading other countries
What about everyone in Iraq that’s suffering from PTSD?
I hope the Iraqis will have access to it too.
Give this man a medal
Bless him ❤️❤️❤️❤️ he will now help so many others 🙏
I think I need this app because of rescuing animals too. I feel like battling in war zone too 😔
Here’s another SOLUTION for you, you can simply STOP colonizing other countries and STOP war crimes and STOP killing innocent people in their own countries and you won’t have anymore nightmares . AS SIMPLE AS THAT 😁 you’re welcome for the advice
Sorry but if his dad killed so many people in Iraq it’s only fair he suffers the nightmares
He deserves all the accolades of this world…world needs ppl like him 🥺
doing more for veterans than the entirety of America
How brilliant for anyone who suffers PTSD. Clever young man to invent something so useful.
That’s amazing! How smart are some people?!
So our poor war veterans are now getting PTSD from guarding Halliburton to stealing oil. Lovely.
CNN STILL SUCKS THO
They call muslims terrorists bc of 9/11, they killed more than a million iraqi and call themselves heros…..
If only the app stopped our constant need for war instead
This is effing incredible!!! Love it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
