Unveiling Sleep Apnoea on World Sleep Day

As we observe World Sleep Day, it's crucial to shed light on a widespread but often overlooked sleep disorder – sleep apnoea.

Sleep apnoea disrupts breathing patterns during sleep, causing pauses or shallow breaths. This condition, particularly obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), can lead to fragmented sleep and various health issues.

Symptoms like loud snoring, daytime fatigue, and difficulty concentrating often indicate sleep apnoea. Diagnosis typically involves sleep studies conducted in specialised sleep disorder clinics.

Treatment options range from Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy to lifestyle adjustments like weight management and avoiding alcohol before bed.

On this World Sleep Day, let's raise awareness about sleep apnoea, encouraging early detection and treatment for better sleep and overall health.
