This book could save your relationship, your job, your health, and even your life.
Sleep apnoea is one of the most dangerous and least understood of sleep disorders. But it’s one everyone should be talking about, not least because its main symptom causes the biggest battle in the bedroom: snoring.
Apnoea means the temporary cessation of breathing, and that’s serious. It impacts the oxygen getting into your body, which affects the whole body, and puts your brain and heart particularly at risk. It’s a (not-so-) silent epidemic.
The impact is devastating. Lack of sleep affects how we function: physically, mentally, and emotionally. And because snoring is so disruptive, the problem can be just as serious for the partner as for the snorer themselves.
You deserve better – and so does your partner. Discover how to solve sleep apnoea and change everything.
Dr Michael Oko is a leading consultant ENT specialist. He worked as an advisor on OSA for the Department of Health and in 2023 became a founding member of the All-Parliamentary Working Group as the ENTUK representative to advise the House of Lords and Parliament on sleep apnoea.
