John Flick...In His Jammies...Uncensored.
Posted by Tierney Cook
I spend hours upon hours each week with this man, and recently I learned something new about my co-anchor John Flick.
He's a snorer. One day on the set he started complaining about how bad he snores.
Apparently he's been snoring all his life, and he has a history of sleep disorders in his family.
I decided to take a closer look and do some investigative reporting.
I sent John to Mercy's Sleep Clinic for a sleep study.
Tomorrow night at 5 on Eyewitness News 5, we've got surveillance video of John snoring and sleeping, plus the results of his sleep test.
He may suffer from a disease thousands of Oklahomans deal with every night.
We have a high rate of sleep apnea in our state, higher than other parts of the country because of our obesity rate.
John's test results plus the symptoms for sleep apnea, that's Friday night on Eyewitness News 5 at 5.
Plus John in his jammies, if you like that.

John is not hardly obese or overweight for that matter. Is our obesity rate in Oklahoma really that high? I thought it was a National problem. I am curious as to what they recommend to him for a fix, I've heard about a couple of things and one of them is very awkward--the mask.
I know a gentleman who takes treatments (for sleep apnea) through a gas mask while he sleeps. I do not know the logistics of the treatments, but he has confirmed that the treatments do help him obtain some much needed rest.
I do look forward to seeing the report this afternoon.
