I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea a few years ago and prior to that I had no idea why I was always so tired during the day even though I went to bed early every night. Over the years I have read many books on Sleep Apnea but this one really stands out because of how informative and straight to the point it is. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has Sleep Apnea or wants to learn about it.

Dr. Chokroverty has distilled the critical elements from his other question and answer work on sleep disorders and included some new material to create an excellent volume for those seeking information on sleep apnea - a common yet under-diagnosed and under-treated condition. There is useful information for both the newly diagnosed and those currently treated but seeking to know more about their condition and appropriate treatment options.
