This series of photographs depicts the life of a person suffering from a sleep disorder which caused four-year-old Owen to fall asleep anywhere, at any time.
Owen’s mother Andrea Evans started to photograph her son with her iPhone to show how much of an effect the condition had on her child.
Thankfully his sleeping habits have much improved since surgeons removed his tonsils and adenoids last July, as reported by MailOnline.
‘Before he would wake up before 5am – usually because of his own snoring or his trouble breathing and then crash at around 10am or so.,’ the mother-of-three said.
‘Now he doesn’t fall asleep like that as much anymore.
‘Of course a really busy day he might pass out around dinner or so.’
Owen is pictured napping at the dinner table, on the kitchen floor and even in the laundry basket.
Andrea and her husband decided to post the images to Imgur in a bid to highlight the symptoms of sleep apnea.
28-year-old Andrea said that while some find the images cute and comical, others have criticised her parenting skills.
‘I have learned to brush it off and just laugh at people’s first impressions,’ she said.
‘They have no idea what kind of parents we are and our ‘negligence’ and lacking routines is complete opposite.
‘I am a very hands on stay at home mom.
‘We started taking these pictures and videos to document what our doctor didn’t really see to be an issue at the time.’
