Sleep Apnea - The Phantom of the Night by Robi L. Doran (Dana Point, CA)  5 Stars
October 26, 2009
This book helped me to understand that there are other consequences to not sleeping well besides daytime sleepiness that I never knew about. I am not happy using a cpap machine, but if it will help prevent other diseases due to not having a good night's sleep, then it makes me feel a little better about using one.

February 15, 2009
Read the book and if you have a sleeping disorder seek
professional help. I sought help. Since then I have been using a mask and CPAP machine for 2 weeks and have noticed significant differences in
my energy level during the day. I do not want to take a quick nap during the afternoon! Do you sometimes nod off while waiting for the stop light to change? Thats not good. Read the book and then get help.....Stats say that worldwide 1 out of 20 have some sort of sleep disorder....

Sleep Apnea must read book by Richard D. Callahan (Virginia beach Va) 5 Stars
January 13, 2009
Diagnosed with sleep apnea in Nov 08. I needed to find out everything I could about this disease. All three major bookstores here had little to no info on this condition. I looked up this book on Amazon and found it to be an excellent reference. Written by doctors and a patient with the disease, this book gave me the knowledge to ask the right questions with my doctors who were treating me.
This book provides the insight and knowledge that a patient can understand and needs to know. Highly receommended.

extremely helpful by mama psych (Lynnfield, MA United States) 5 Stars
March 03, 2008
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.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a sleeping disorder that affects millions of people but which has only recently come to widespread public attention. Fortunately, an effective therapy called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can treat it. Simply blowing air into people’s noses at night gives them new, improved rest and silences their characteristic snoring. Unfortunately, the adjustment period for this therapy is not of short duration, and most people give up in the early stages,...
