Apnea Awakenings

Sleep apnea is often invisible to the person who has it — detected by a partner, or surfacing in exhaustion that becomes impossible to ignore. The path from suspicion to sleep study to treatment is one that transforms not just sleep but the whole shape of waking life.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe the recognition of symptoms, the sleep study and diagnosis, and the adjustment to treatment — most commonly CPAP therapy, though some writers describe dental devices, positional therapy, or surgery. Writers speak honestly about the difficulty of adaptation, the moments it clicked, and the difference treatment eventually made to health and daily life.

Who it's for

For those newly diagnosed with sleep apnea, those still struggling to find a workable treatment, and partners who have been watching someone they love lose sleep and want to understand what the path forward looks like.
