Alex Jones suffers from severe sleep apnea that causes near-death experiences nightly.

I go to 62% oxygen. I always have my head next basically to form after major surgery and almost die every night. Most people die at 62% oxygen. I have near-death experiences every night, and that's why I have DMT every damn night, folks.

Alex Jones's erratic behavior and emotional outbursts are likely caused by brain damage from severe sleep apnea.

If Alex suffers from sleep apnea so severe that CPAP machines can't do anything about it, it's a very serious condition, and you'd expect to see wildly out-of-balance levels of GABA and glutamine accompanying that. And you know what? That very clearly explains his behavior. It doesn't explain his bigotry, but in terms of the diminished brain functioning and the clearly out-of-control behavior we've seen from him in the last few years, it could all be the public presentation of brain damage he suffered because of his sleep apnea. Obviously, this doesn't let him off the hook for anything, since we can see that his terrible beliefs and real stupidity predates any kind of change in his behavior. But if this sleep apnea developed over the past few years, it would definitely explain the flagrant inability he has to control his emotions. And his out-of-control outbursts on the show, all that sort of stuff that we're like, haha, isn't this crazy? It legitimately could be the result of brain damage caused by his severe sleep apnea.
