Product Description
Are your doctors doing all that they can to keep you in good health? Have they ever investigated the possibility that you may have sleep apnea, a condition whose incidence has reached epidemic proportions? Probably not, because most doctors don’t do that screening routinely, although they certainly should. The long-term consequences from sleep apnea are wide-ranging and very serious, even life-threatening. And resolving sleep apnea can greatly reduce your risk of their occurrence. If your doctor doesn’t take steps to protect you from sleep apnea, then you need to take those steps yourself.

This is the book that lays out for you what to look for, what to do, and why it’s so important. It’s easy to read, and so informative. You will learn what to do to protect yourself and your loved ones from the perils of the sleep apnea epidemic, a necessity for maintaining good health.



CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.5 based on 2 reviews)

A thought-provoking addition to the basic research  
I agree with the other reviewer that this book doesn't cover everything about sleep apnea. For me, it makes a connection to all kinds of other medical problems I never knew about and encouraged me to check them out.

If you want to learn all about sleep apnea and how it works, buy something else. But if you want to learn more than the standard "sleep doctor" story, or you are worried about someone who may have sleep apnea, buy this book too.

Not Worth The Money  
I was recently diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and bought this book to find out all that I could about it. This book was very short and had very little information on the subject.

I would not recommend that anyone purchase this because it was defiantely not worth the money infact it wasn't even really a book it was more like a pamphlet that was missing alot and told you nothing.
