"very informative, answers most of your questions on this involved subject, especially if you are newly diagnosed and confused. Most information is dead on, and worth a read."
"All of the questions that you will forget to ask your doctor about how to overcome sleep apnea syndrome will be answered somewhere in this informative volume. Also great if someone close to you has apnea."
"It is a simple read for Respiratory Therapists and patients alike. May need updated soon because of all the new equipment coming out."
"I was just recently diagnosed with having sleep apnea and wanted to know everything about it. This book had a lot of information on the subject and helped me to realize that I was not alone."
"It is written in "english" that I understand - not "doctor-ease"! I went to my first sleep study knowing what to expect. I went to the second one knowing what to expect. I went for my pulmonologist appointment, knowing what to ask and look at with my hypnogram (a word that I learned from the book and then used with my doctor, and he was astonished!!!) The experience of being on the CPAP machine for the first 15 days was very easy for me, as this book answered questions that I didn’t even know to ask! And the FAQ’s still are helping as I reach my 6 month anniversary with my CPAP!"
"particularly helpful - especially his notes about how we ALL hate the CPAP equipment, but there are good reasons to continue to struggle with it, to explore better options, etc…. because the tradeoff for better sleep, better quality of life, and better prognosis for long term wellness, make it worth while. Lots of pictures, excellent explanations throughout. Highly recommended."
"Helpful to patients in understanding what sleep apnea is and how they should deal with it; does not present much of surgical techniques, instead focusing on machines, CPAP, etc. Certain parts are hard to understand - in doctor’s speak - but overall very useful background information. Worth a look if you suffer from this, particularly mild cases; more severe cases should consult a physician."
"I recently started using CPAP for my sleep apnea and found this book very helpful and informative. I continue to use this book as a reference tool and think it is well worth reading!"
"I was diagnosed with sleep apnea recently. A sleep specialist friend recommended this book and I must say it is full of solid information that is useful in understanding sleep apnea. I particularly appreciated the section where many questions, concerns, difficulties about sleep apnea and the CPAP machines are discussed. Rather than always having to contact my sleep center doctor or the medical equipment company, answers were found in this book. I would buy it again or suggest to anyone with sleep apnea."
