Next Steps
Restful sleep is required for a normal healthy life. Daily wakefulness should be effortless and free from unintended sleep episodes. Problem sleepiness is far more common than often realised and can be dangerous.
If you or someone close to you regularly shows the signs of excessive sleepiness, or complains of constantly feeling tired - get help. OSA can be simply screened, diagnosed and treated.
Treatment of OSA is effective, affordable and uncomplicated. The most widely used therapy is Positive Airway Pressure (PAP). The individual wears a mask over the nose or mouth during sleep, and gentle pressure from a quiet air blower forces air through the nasal passages. This air pressure is adjusted so that it is just enough to prevent the airways from collapsing, whilst ensuring comfortable sleep.
